Synopsis
On 12 August 1943, on Midway Island, Lt. Cdr. I. J. Galantin took command of the fleet submarine <em>USS Halibut</em>. For the next fourteen months, Galantin and his offers and crew would play their part in the unrelenting attack on Japan's navy and merchant marine. But it was in Luzon Strait in November 1944 that the submarine and its crew underwent their greatest ordeal. Detected and driven down while attacking a decoy, <em>Halibut </em>was subjected to an assault of appalling ferocity. Badly damaged, the crippled sub and crew endured hours of desperate manoeuvring and helpless waiting before the enemy finally gave up.

Review
Superb! An intimate look at the way a war was won. --Tom Clancy
Synopsis
The story of the fleet submarine USS "Halibut's" last mission, written by the man who took command of the vessel on August 12, 1943. He and his crew, played their part in the Silent Service's unrelenting attack on Japan's navy and merchant marine for the next 14 months. With Pete Galatin as skipper, "Halibut" undertook four patrols, each successively more dangerous as the enemy was forced ever closer to his heavily mined and protected waters. After a two-month respite for overhauling and refitting, Galatin and his comrades took "Halibut" westward for one more patrol in Luzon Strait, where "Halibut" was subjected to a depth-charge assault. It was "Halibut's" last mission - she was so severely damaged that she was sent back home for good. Those who served aboard her were awarded decorations and the ship was given the prized Navy Unit Commendation. In the years that followed, Pete Galatin rose to Four-Star Admiral rank in the United States Navy.

TAKE HER DEEP: SUBMARINE AGAINST JAPAN IN WORLD WAR II
Seller: The Secret Bookshop, Tararua, New Zealand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. A very clean copy. On August 12, 1943, 32-year-old Pete Galantin took command of the U.S.S. Halibut at Midway Island. Armed with torpedos and a 50 caliber deck gun, Halibut roamed from Pearl Harbor to Saipan, the Phillippines and the coast of Japan, sinking 13 enemy vessels - including a 10,000 ton heavy cruiser - until, on November 14, 1944, the longest, most ferocious attack ever survived by a U.S. submarine knocked Halibut out of commision. It was a career that earned both ship and crew the Navy Unit Commendation. Now pigboat skipper Pete Galantin tells Halibut's remarkable story. Here are the men who lived and fought from cramped, close quarters, the excitement and drama of on-target hits, and the frustration and peril of all too frequent near-misses caused by malfunctioning torpedos. And here is the final, legendary battle near Luzon Strait. After sinking two enemy vessels, Halibut took depth charges that drove her under to 420 feet, wrecked her conning tower, and bent her hull inward - and survived. Seller Inventory # 043407
