Resumen del Editor

Sink 'Em All was originally published in 1951 by Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, the US Navy commander of the Pacific submarine fleet during World War II.

Lockwood, in his leadership role, knew the skippers and crews of the submarines and retells their wartime successes and tragedies with an intimacy and realism often missing in second-hand accounts. Lockwood also recounts his efforts to improve the provisions and after-patrol accommodations of the submariners and of his on-going struggle to improve the effectiveness of torpedoes and other tools vital to the war effort.

well done

i enjoy history, this was neither boring or slow.... good book... excellant speaker... lest we forget our fore father sacrifices...

Very detailed and packed full of information.

Very detailed and packed full of information. The book gives a very wide overview of submarine activity under the command of Admiral Lockwood.

Very good story

There a great deal of action,drama,over all the story will never be boring.One can listen always there is so much going on and on .It takes more then a few listens to grasp the story

A history buff’s delight

This book is for, primarily, die hard US Navy Pacific Theater history buffs. Chocked full of detail with a rather dead pan, “just the facts ma’am” delivery, it is really, really good. The bravery of the men involved is articulated, to be sure with some prejudice, in such a fashion as to bring forth a tear now and then. I confess, I loved the book.

Sub Stories

I have enjoyed listening to this book and I believe that you will enjoy it too

Great Compilation

This is a great account of some highlights that came across Admiral Lockwood’s desk, as well as his personal experience. I found most interesting in the final chapters Lockwood’s thoughts (circa 1951) of the future of submarine warfare vs what came to transpire.

Well written book and well read audio book

Admiral Lockwood authored well-written book on the Pacific submarine force in WW2. As the commander in charge of the submarines in the Pacific Theater, he had knowledge of many operations, difficulties and achievements of the submarine operations, and was still pretty objective. Many great stories, facts, insights and analysis. He also seemed to weave in almost every sub lost during the war under his command. I recommend this audio book to any WW2, military or history buff.

a must for history buffs that enjoy ww2

extremely well put together, covers from start to finish the silent service of ww2 told by the man who was in charge of them.

Great info

After having read several World War II submarine novels which covers patrols in detail, I find this book does a great job giving an excellent overview of the whole submarine service during World War II. It also gives brief details about certain submarine actions. It is a great book for submariners who would like to learn more about the submarine heritage.

Reader

For the most part it is great. As a Submarine Sailor I found the pronunciation of the boat names and location names very distracting.
Mare Island is pronounced like female horse, Barbel is like the weight device. I had to replay many sections to catch the correct boat names.
