Download or read book Pigboat 39 written by Bobette Gugliotta and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historic account of the US Navy’s cramped, outdated submarine that was forced to remain in service during World War II. Constructed in 1923, the American submarine S39 was practically an antique when the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor in 1941. With defective torpedoes, a semi-trained crew, and a primitive ventilation system (hence the nickname), she nevertheless sank two enemy vessels and eluded pursuit to fight again in the Solomons. This is the little-known story of how an unprepared navy fought with what it had until the tide could be turned. Bobette Gugliotta was one of the S-39 wives. With the technical assistance of her husband, Guy, an officer who served on three of the S-class boats during the war, she presents an accurate and absorbing account of submarine operations and warfare. No less valuable is her candid and sympathetic portrayal of the men and women whose lives were caught up in the voyage of the S-39. Praise for Pigboat 39 “There are very few accounts of the exploits of these submarines. This book is a gem; essential for World War II and naval history collections.” —Library Journal “The account of S39’s 2,000-mile flight cackles with action.” —Navy Times “Captures in vivid style the valiant spirit of the men who held the line in the face of disaster. But equally important, by depicting the roles played by the wives of the crew members, Gugliotta has helped to fill a gap that has largely been ignored by naval historians.” —U.S. Naval Proceedings “A remarkable evocation.” —Louisville Courier-Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submarine stories have a long and rich tradition of harrowing escapes and the sinking of enemy ships. When I first saw the boat I would be serving on for the next three and a half years, I wondered as to what purpose left-over submarines from World War 2 would have in the current war my country was in, the Vietnam War. After all, to my knowledge at the time, our enemy had no Navy to speak of and didn't use shipping lanes. If you have ever wondered yourself or didn't even know those old pig boa

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-length history of the S-4 disaster, which was the first rescue attempt made of a modern submarine The rescue divers could hear the crew tapping out a message in Morse code: "Is there any hope?" After being accidentally rammed by the Coast Guard destroyer USS Paulding on December 17, 1927, the USS S-4 submarine sank to the ocean floor off Cape Cod with all 40 crew members aboard. Only six sailors in the forward torpedo room survived the initial accident, trapped in the compartment with oxygen running out. Author and naval historian Joseph A. Williams has delved into never-revealed archival sources to tell the compelling narrative of the S-4 disaster. The book tells of the terrible diving conditions endured due to a raging winter storm; the heroic efforts of the rescue divers, including one diver who became trapped in the wreckage while trying to attach an air hose to the sunken sub. The lessons learned by the U.S. Navy improved submarine rescue technology, which resulted in subsequent successful rescues of other downed submariners.

Book excerpt: Torpedoes Away! details US Navy submarine operations during the first 18 months of World War Two. Author Maxwell Hawkins breathlessly covers the tense, dangerous missions of submarines USS Trout, Sea Raven, Pollack, Skipjack, Cuttlefish, and others. Between these first-hand reports stitched-together from interviews with crewmen, Hawkins describes the mechanical workings of submarines, as well as the history of submersibles beginning in the 17th Century. He spent over a year sifting through the archives of the Navy Department and conducted extensive interviews with many veteran submariners about their experiences in the Pacific during World War Two. The result is a classic study of underwater warfare, a must read for military historians and World War 2 buffs.
