description: Undersea Stealth details the author’s life as a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy—mountains of rules and regulations and intense academics, interspersed with pranks and humor. He describes his tours in destroyers, including an evocative account of a world cruise, and his career in submarines during the Cold War. This dramatic account chronicles a submerged collision with another submarine, being trapped on the ocean floor, a major onboard fire, and a “hot-running” torpedo. These incidents are offset by happier events, such as the honor of receiving command of a submarine and spending Christmas dinner in Monaco with the royal family. A former chief of naval operations “An interesting personal account through the varied tours of a career submarine officer during the challenging years of the Cold War, replete with firsthand experiences and sea stories, and leaving no doubt as to the author’s philosophy and views on often controversial topics and issues.”
