Sommario/riassunto

Wake of the Wahoo is a detailed account of the U.S.S. Wahoo, one of the most successful American submarines during World War II, as recounted by Forest J. Sterling, the only surviving crew member. The book provides a vivid portrayal of the submarine's daring missions, including sinking 21 enemy ships, and highlights the leadership of its legendary captain, Mush Morton. It offers an insider's perspective on life aboard a submarine, the camaraderie among the crew, and the strategic innovations that contributed to the Wahoo's success. This narrative serves as both a tribute to the bravery of its crew and a historical record of naval warfare.
