Operation Arctic Sting: A Mac McDowell Mission

By Robert G. Williscroft

Book Overview

Hand-to-hand combat with Soviet Morskoy Spetsnaz divers under the ice

"By far the most comprehensive and accurate narrative of the operation of a nuclear submarine I have ever read."-Michael D. LaNoue, Nuclear Submarine Sonar Tech

As USS Teuthis Saturation Dive Team Officer-in-Charge Mac McDowell leads his submarine team laying acoustic arrays under the Arctic ice, they capture an abandoned fully automated Alfa-class Soviet sub. Piloting their prize through the ice pack to the U.S. East Coast, they must evade or confront other Soviet subs trying to recover the sub-or sink it. Breathtaking deep-sea clashes erupt, including hand-to-hand combat with Soviet Morskoy Spetsnaz divers under the ice. Too far from Teuthis to escape, the Americans are accosted by a 6-ton orca. Will Mac's ship survive long enough to reach friendly waters, or will the men become just another meal for a deadly whale?
