Book Reviews of Back from the Deep: The Strange Story of the Sister Subs Squalus and Sculpin
Book Review: SS-192
Summary: 5 Stars
My father served on the USS Sailfish under Lt. Cdr. R.E.M. Ward from 1943-45 until the depth charging they received on 12th war patrol ended war for Sailfish. I went to a Subvets convention in 1983 in Scottsdale, Arizona, and there I met survivors of the Sculpin, as well as survivors of the Squalus. These geezers were amazing. They had an entire hotel filled with guys running around in those bush hats and blue/yellow vests and it was as if it were 1945 again and they were just off patrol. I recently received a copy of the wartime patrol logbook of the Sailfish, an hour by hour summary and it is fascinating reading. My dad was on the 10th thru 12th war patrols. My dad was the one who returned to sub with an very unusual souvenir from Saipan battlefield when they stopped to drop off shot down and rescued flyboys. And his best buddy has the same last name as a popular cake... BTW, the book is amazing and a must read....
