Book Posting 6

Another book I am reading is Run Silent Run Deep by Edward L. Beach. The book begins with a captain who has just gotten promoted from a ship called the Octopus, which he served as Lieutenant to the captain, is given his officers and a crew and another, old, World War I U-boat named S-18 that was scrapped because of engine problems. Their job is to fix her up and get her in working condition again. World War II has started by now but Pearl Harbor hasn’t happened yet. After Richardson (the captain) and his crew finish up on S-18, they find out they were just fixing it up for the Polish to use it in their fleet against the Nazis. This disappoints them. Until they find out they are going to war in a newer sub named the Walrus since its past 1942 and the US is now completely involved in WWII. They now sail for Pearl Harbor.
