One glance at the Spadefish (SS-411) battle flag shows that she was one of the most successful World War II submarines Spadefish was the only U.S. submarine launched in 1944 to become one of the war's top ten scoring boats. She downed six ships on her maiden double-barreled patrol and never looked back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite A Book About Quite A Submarine
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2009
Verified Purchase
Author Stephen L. Moore is to be commended for the lengths he went to, doing the original research "spadework" for SPADEFISH. Also for the taut, well paced book which came about as a result. There are many personal anecdotes, both from Officers and Men which were on the 5 combat patrols USS Spadefish undertook from the first patrol's onset on 23 July, 1944 to the fifth patrol's conclusion 4 July, 1945. Actually Author Moore extended the boat's and crew's combined histories into the commissioning and even de-commissioning of the US Navy's second USS Spadefish, SSN 668 in 1996. "Spadefish" is well illustrated with photos, both privately held and Official US Navy photos, Moore even went the extra mile with maps, diagrams, and tables of enemy (mostly, anyway!) sinkings, he even explained the "alphabet soup" concerning the enlisted grades of US Naval hierarchy. This was a book I felt obliged to take my time with so I could savor every page! I recommend this fine book to anyone with an abiding interest in the US Navy's Submarine Campaign in the Pacific Ocean.

I have as least a dozen books on WW II submarines and SPADEFISH is among the best for its entertainment. I like the various input from the living veterans which makes this a rather personal story with their funny stories about liberty and work.

As a 28 year Navy veteran and naval history fan I really enjoyed this book. It was a no nonsense documentary of a hard charging submarine
and the men who took her to sea, fought the boat and brought her home. I have a special interest in this boat since I was a plank-owner on
USS Spadefish SSN-668 but retired as a flyer who spent more than 20 years hunting submarines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Underwood and Spadefish
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2007

There is a new genre surrounding the 'biographies' of WW2 submarines namely of incorporating as many of the crew members as possible in the review of wartime patrols. This can make the book lengthy and difficult to follow. The author manages to avoid the pitfalls.

It is a good read. I thoroughly enjoyed the book
