A gripping truelife thriller about the first US submarine to sink a Japanese aircraft carrierand the subs tragic twist of fateIn 1939 off the New England coast, the submarine USS Squalus accidentally sinks to the bottom of the sea during a training exercise, killing half her crew. Coming to the rescue is the USS Sculpin, in many ways the Squaluss twin. As their oxygen supply dwindles, the remaining crew aboard the Squalus are saved in a timeconsuming, whiteknuckle operation. Eventually the sunken submarine is raised, repaired, and returned to duty, with a new name: the Sailfish.Four years later, on patrol during the darkest days of the Pacific War, the Sailfishs radarman picks up the telltale signs of a Japanese convoy, known by U.S. intelligence to include aircraft carriers, the most formidable of all enemy ships. Never before has an American submarine taken down a carriermuch less in the middle of a typhoon. Immediately, the crewmen swing into action, embarking on a deadly game of catandmouse as this oncedead boat evades enemy cruisers to stalk closer and closer to their prized target. Little do they know that aboard the Japanese carrier are survivors of an attack on the USS Sculpin, the very boat that saved the SqualisturnedSailfish back in 39.Author Stephen L. Moore takes readers inside the ninehour duel, narrating the action aboard both the Sailfish and the doomed carrier, where the American POWs fight against all odds to save their own lives before the ship goes down. Employing a wealth of new information, including longlost survivors accounts, fresh interviews with the last of the sub s crew, and official patrol reports, Strike of the Sailfish is the thrilling story of this strange chapter of naval history.
