I am a big fan of Submarine novels and "Up Periscope" by Robb White is one of my favorites.
The story begins when Navy Lieutenant Ken Braden is given a top secret assignment to find a Japanese code on a remote Pacific island during World War Two. The submarine USS Shark is given the task of transporting Braden to the island.
Author Robb White served aboard several types of vessels during World War Two (including submarines) and he writes of real men and how they deal with life and death combat situations. White's descriptions of The Shark being depth-charged hour after hour by the Japanese are especially harrowing.
