Sea Story - Greatest Submarine Rescue in History

A SEA STORY

Nautical Disaster

"In a swirl of trailing bubbles, the Squalus touched down on the North Atlantic floor."

Salvage Operation, USS Squalus SS192 North Atlantic, May 1939

I recently finished reading THE TERRIBLE HOURS by Peter Maas, and it was an outstanding sea story.  This thriller has many of the elements that make a great sea story.  Here's the bullet list of what you can expect:

• Disasters at sea
• Brave men use their whits and technology in the face of nature's deadly elements
• Sailors battle the sea afloat and below the briny depths
• Camaraderie among sailors aboard ships and submarines
• Development of extreme hardware and technology used for rescues at sea
• US Navy history told by an excellent author in a NY Times bestseller

From THE TERRIBLE HOURS book jacket:

On the eve of World War II, the Squalus, America's newest submarine, plunged into the North Atlantic. Miraculously, thirty-three crew members still survived. While their loved ones waited in unbearable tension on shore, their ultimate fate would depend upon one man, U.S. Navy officer Charles "Swede" Momsen -- an extraordinary combination of visionary, scientist, and man of action. In this thrilling true narrative, prize-winning author Peter Maas brings us in the vivid detail a moment-by-moment account of the disaster and the man at its center. Could he actually pluck those men from a watery grave? Or had all his pioneering work been in vain?

If you enjoy a good sea story, you may want to give these two a read.
