I thank Mr. Dick Barbieri for writing and publishing "Smoke Boat Sailor". It is a very educational, informative, and exciting book about living onboard the USS Bang (SS385), a World War II Era diesel-electric submarine, during the early 1960s. I served on the USS Bang with Dick for about two years of the time he writes about in the book, and I feel honored that Dick included me in one of his stories. As I read the book, many memories I had forgotten through the years returned to me. I am sure that all submariners have some memories we will never forget.
