ABOUT
The true story of one of America's greatest submarines, officially credited with sinking the most Japanese shipping in World War II.
During six war patrols from 1944 through 1945, the submarine USS Flasher devastated Japanese convoys in the South China Sea. She sank more enemy shipping (over 100,000 tons) than any American submarine & was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. She sank more Japanese tanker tonnage than any other submarine & made Reuben Whitaker, her first captain, one of the top ten submarine skippers of the war in both numbers of ships & total tonnage sunk. Here is the true story of this deadly submarine & her all-volunteer crew.
Illustrated with monochrome images, drawings, maps and charts.
