• catalog abstract ""She looked like just about every other diesel-powered, Balao-class submarine crafted in the '40s. But there the similarity ends. Because the Archerfish - named for a fish that kills its victims with a lethal blast of water from below - won a unique, heroic place in military history and the memories of her crew members." "Here is her story: from her assembly in New England, her dedication in May 1943, her service in World War II, where she broke the back of the Japanese Navy and sank the largest ship ever destroyed by a submarine, to the details of her critical role in the cold war, where she crisscrossed the oceans for six years to foil Soviet naval intelligence." "Here too is the story of her officers and enlisted men, who waited years to serve on the Archerfish. In their own words, these men tell how, against all odds, they sent a Japanese aircraft carrier to the ocean floor ... served in peacetime as the Navy's only all-bachelor crew ... steered their ship into exotic ports all over the world ... welcomed B-girls, Japanese war veterans, royalty, Playboy bunnies, and a goat aboard their ship - all with equal hospitality. As they helped their sub outlast fires and even an earthquake, they worked hard, played hard, and lived even harder."--Jacket.".
