Download Submarine Commander: A Story of World War II and Korea AudioBook Free
A fascinating personal memoir of underwater fight in World Warfare II, advised by a man who played a major role in those dangerous procedures. Frank and beautifully written, this book will be of enduring value as a submarine history by a specialist so when an enduring military services and political analysis. In early on 1943, the submarine USS Scorpion, with Paul R. Schratz as torpedo officer, slipped into the shallow waters east of Tokyo, laid a minefield, and made successful torpedo episodes on merchant delivery. Schratz participated in many more patrols in intensely mined Japanese waters as executive officer of the Sterlet and the Atule. At war's end, he participated in japan surrender, aided the release of American POWs, and experienced a key role in the disarming of adversary suicide submarines. Then took order of the brand new new Japanese submarine I-203 and delivered it to Pearl Harbor. But this is far from the end of Schratz's submarine profession. In 1949, he commissioned the ultramodern USS Pickerel, the most deadly submarine then afloat, and placed a world's record in a 21-day, 5,200-mile submerged passing from Hong Kong to Honolulu. With the outbreak of the Korean Warfare, the Pickerel was immediately delivered to Korea to take part in secret intelligence procedures only just lately declassified rather than before revealed on the net. Schratz's broad military services experience makes this a definately not ordinary memoir.
