Wake of the Wahoo

Copyright 1960, ex-library, hardcover with dustjacket, 210 pages. SUBJECT: "The submarine U.S.S. Wahoo and her commander, Dudley 'Mush' Morton, are a legend. These accounts were written on four patrols before the last. He knew almost every man who went down with her--knew their jitters, their courage, their humor, before, during, and after each attack. Follow their elation after a clean hit, the fear as exploding 'ash cans' extinguish the lights, smash equipment, stave in plates. There are harrowing deck watches, tension in the control tower, surface attacks, emergency dives. There is also horseplay, letters from home, and liberties with drinks, girls, card games and bull sessions -- and the amazing personal impact of 'Mush' Morton."
