The Silent Service in World War II: The Story of the U.S. Navy Submarine Force in the Words of the Men Who Lived it

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, the U. S. Navy had a total of 111 submarines. However, this fleet was not nearly as impressive as the number suggests. It was mostly a collection of ageing boats from the late teens and early twenties, with only a few of the newer, more modern Gato-class boats.
