Same Title - Hope it is a newer version of the paperback I valued.

Note - I haven't read this. If this is the same book I recall from my teens, I would give it five stars. The date of publication tends to negate this, but I still wish to obtain it when it becomes available. The one I remember was a collection of WW II accounts, including Loss of the Perch, The Seahorse Story, and the account of U.S.S. Tang. The Japanese couldn't sink her after many attempts, she was sunk by her last torpedo before preparing to return from a successful patrol. It made a circular run and hit her before she could take evasive action.
