The USS Bullhead was the last American naval vessel lost in World
War II. This is the submarine's history - from launch to
disappearance - as told by the only war correspondent allowed on a
wartime submarine patrol. Narrow escapes from floating mines,
diving to avoid enemy aircraft, and a daring sortie to rescue three
badly hurt Army survivors of a downed B-52.crew are just a few of
the adventures recounted. Trained as a feature writer, author
Martin Sheridan knew how to share his experiences, the intangible
spirit of camaraderie and sense of danger, as well as the humorous
and poignant incidents of everyday living. First published in 1947,
the narrative is based on a journal kept by the author during the
Bullhead's first war patrol in March-April 1945 and supplemental
information from official Navy reports. It captures the perilous
undersea war in the Pacific as only a first-hand account can,
supported by a unique collection of period photographs.
