Book Reviews of Gato-Class Submarines in Action - Warships No. 28
Book Review: War-Winning U. S. Subs Described!
Summary: 4 Stars
Gato class submarines were the backbone of the U.S. Navy's submarine campaign against Japan in World War II. The names of Gato class boats reads like a who's who of top-scoring subs: Wahoo, Archerfish, Trigger, Silversides, Batfish, Harder, etc. Well-known naval historian Robert C. Stern offers a well-illustrated guide to these war winning boats in this Squadron/Signal "Warships" volume.
Stern's book offers a nuts-and-bolts guide to the Gato boats, the Balao and Tench follow-ons and postwar Guppy conversions. As with other S/S volumes, there are lots of great detail photos and info on equipment, armament. etc. The battle histories of some of the boats are concisely summarized but that isn't the book's main emphasis. As always, the Don Greer profiles and artwork are first-rate.
As a basic, inexpensive introduction to the Gato class, Stern's book can't be beat.
