At last count, more than 80 U.S. submarines recorded some type of
actual "friendly fire" incident in which they were involved during
their WWII war patrols. From being attacked by Allied bombers,
depth-charged by U.S. ships or fired upon by armed Allied merchant
ships, submariners quickly came to understand the bitter truth of
the maxim: `The submarine has no friends.' While the majority of
submarines and their crew escaped with little more than bruised
egos or minor injuries, three submarines and their crews were lost
to friendly fire. For the first time in book format, a serious and
most comprehensive research effort has gone into capturing all such
"friendly fire" incidents involving U.S. submarines during World
War II. Compiled through relentless research by the co-authors,
their stories of loss and survival by "other than the enemy" is
presented within these pages.
