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

That's what I was thinking, "Just the Facts, Ma'am" sort of narrative. But, I might order one out of curiosity.
BTW - Ordered Roscoe's 2 volume set "Submarine Operations & Destroyer Operations" from some used outfit and still waiting for it. Think this edition was printed in the 50's.
Long ago I borrowed Roscoe's Sub Ops book & Blair's Silent Victory from the local library. My recollections of these is no doubt a conflation of the information from one book to the other. But I do remember my amazement at Silent Victory, blow by blow through the pacific. Good time to permanently add them to the shelf.
Anyway - GREAT books in this list!
