U.S.S. Cod (SS-224): American Submarine War Patrol Reports (Riverdale Books Naval History) (Paperback)
Just picked this up at the USS Cod two weeks ago. I've just finished the first WP and it is nice but a bit stuffy to read. Not at all like the narratives I've been reading. It is interesting but not for everyone. BTW, the USS Cod is very well preserved and I had a great unguided tour followed later by a tour guide taking me back on deck to answer some of my questions. Great folks taking care of a sweet ole gal.

I've been reading Roscoe's US Submarine Operations in WWII. Great read for book published in 1949.
