Culled from many never-before-published narratives and oral histories conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Naval Institute, Submarine Stories presents nearly five dozen first-person accounts from the men who were involved with gasoline- and diesel-powered submarines during the 20th and 21st centuries. The story of these boats—their technological evolution and tactical value—is also the story of the men who went to sea in them; the accounts illustrate the human aspects of serving in diesel boats: the training, operations in peacetime and war, liberty exploits, humorous sidelights, and the special feelings of bonding and camaraderie that grew among shipmates.
Paul Stillwell is former editor-in-chief of Naval History magazine and director of the U.S. Naval Institute's oral history program. Paul is also the author of The Golden Thirteen, Battleship Arizona, and Assault on Normandy—all published by the Naval Institute Press.
