Book Posting 7

On his way to Pearl Harbor, Richardson and his crew in their new sub, the Walrus, encounter a german sub on patrol in the Carribean and barely manage to evade their foe to make it to the Panama canal. There, they practice manuveurs and learn that the damage at Pearl Harbor is terrible and that the US is trying to salvage ships for the upcoming battle at Miday Island. When Richardson and his crew arrive at Pearl Harbor, the devestation stuns them. Turns out, the US was able to cripple the Japanese offensive at Midway and the USS Enterprise is the last major aircraft carrier in the US pacific fleet (thought to be out of commission due to severe damage at Midway) and is now the symbol of the navy. Richardson gets a slight upgrade to add a bit of stealth and a better surface radar for night fighting. He receives his orders to patrol the Bungo strait off of Japan and heads for Midway.
