- Summary
- The author shares his war experiences, his role in the Japanese surrender, and his participation in the setting of a world's record for longest submerged voyage.
- "In early 1943 the submarine USS Scorpion, with Paul R. Schratz as torpedo officer, slipped into the shallow waters east of Tokyo, laid a minefield, and made successful torpedo attacks on merchant shipping, In a fierce battle with a heavily armed patrol vessel, Schratz's executive officer and best friend, Reggie Raymond, was killed. On the Scorpion's next patrol, a torpedo salvo dedicated to Raymond sent two more freighters to the bottom in a near perfect attack."--Jacket.
