Wake Of The Wahoo

From Pearl Harbor to her last and fatal voyage-the heroic story of America's most daring World War II submarine, as told by the only surviving member of the crew.The U.S.S. Wahoo was the most successful submarine in the World War II Pacific fleet. She was the first to penetrate an enemy harbor and sink a Japanese ship. She was the first to wipe out an entire enemy convoy single-handed. In her 11 short months of life she managed an incredible 21 kills.Just 45 minutes before leaving Midway for her last-and fatal-patrol, her Chief Yeoman Forest Sterling was transferred to other duty.The result is this book-Sterling's fantastic yet completely authentic account of a remarkable crew and captain, and the ship they lived and died for."e;Many will remember the newspaper stories during World War II and the photo of Wahoo with a broomstick tied to her periscope signifying a clean sweep...But (here is) the full story from the yeoman who made all the patrols...except the last one."e;-Medal-of-Honor winner Captain E.
