I’ve been doing the Sub Tales books by Frank & Charles Hood for a couple of years now, and those characters keep writing them faster than I can record them. But I was almost caught up for a couple of weeks. Then I heard #5 is on the way, so I had to get busy. Sub Tales 3 is the latest one for your enjoyment.
Sub Tales 3 is the third entry in the “Sub Tales” series written by authors and brothers Charles and Frank Hood. The Hoods have established a niche in the storytelling of exploits both famous and obscure in the captivating history of the US Submarine Force.
Sub Tales 3 comprises 18 original lengthy stories that cover a wide variety of topics, historical figures, and eras. From tales of heroism and courage under duress to more lighthearted discussions about the Silent Service, Sub Tales 3 is crammed full of interesting details that are sure to please the submarine veteran or enthusiast.
You’ll ride with the legendary submarine captains Howard Gilmore and Whitey Mack.
You’ll circumnavigate the globe with the men of the USS Gudgeon and the USS Archerfish.
You’ll stand alongside the pharmacists mate tending to the medical problems of his fellow World War II submariners.
You’ll learn about the taming of the atom to create the first atomic bomb and then come to understand how one mans vision of the peaceful use of nuclear power came to transform the US Navy.
You’ll take detailed looks at the operations of the second US nuclear submarine, the USS Seawolf, learn about the amazing career of the man largely responsible for the rescue chamber that saved submariners aboard the USS Squalus in 1939 and go aboard the NR-1the unique mini-sub that combed the ocean depths.
Sub Tales 3 contains several heart-pounding tales of men skirting death aboard submarines; not all episodes ended well, but the brave actions of those who stayed at their posts or found novel ways to mitigate disaster will inspire you.
