Publisher's Summary

The story of Tang and her gallant crew ranks with the most amazing of naval history.

Between August 1943 when she was commissioned and her loss in fall 1944, Tang completed four missions and was on her fifth in the Formosa Strait, single-handedly demolishing a convey. During this time, Tang had one captain: Commander Richard Hetherington O'Kane. Together, Tang, her crew of 86 men, and her captain sank more tonnage and more enemy ships than any other submarine on active patrol.

Whether rescuing Navy fliers off Truk or stalking enemy convoys off Japan, Tang carried the war to the enemy with unparalleled ferocity.

More Information

This is the last on my wish list.It should have been higher as it reveals more technical info not given in other books.It is not read with the dramatic expression of others but makes up for it with what I mentioned already.

Good story, but…

Not as good as I expected. It could have been the style it was written in. The speaker was bland and monotone and it made it hard to listen to. If you like sub books, go and listen to Thunder Below! It was a fantastic account of a similar WWII sub, but the story was awesome!
