Story
The career of the USS Wahoo in sinking Japanese ships in the farthest reaches of the Empire is legendary in submarine circles. Christened three months after Pearl Harbor, Wahoo was commanded by the astonishing Dudley W. "Mush" Morton, whose originality and daring new techniques led to results unprecedented in naval history; among them, successful "down the throat" barrage against an attacking Japanese destroyer, voracious surface-running gun attacks, and the sinking of a four-ship convoy in one day.

The story of Tang and her gallant crew ranks with the most amazing of naval history. Between August 1943 when she was commissioned and her loss in fall 1944, Tang completed four missions and was on her fifth in the Formosa Strait, single-handedly demolishing a convey. During this time, Tang had one captain: Commander Richard Hetherington O'Kane. Together, Tang, her crew of 86 men, and her captain sank more tonnage and more enemy ships than any other submarine on active patrol.

She was a monster, sleek and gleaming, designed to strike without warning like the dreaded shark. She was the USS Mako, as fearless and bold as any submarine that ever prowled the blue Pacific. Her mission: seek out and destroy the hitherto invincible ships of the Japanese Imperial Navy - and revenge the earlier defeats of a long and dirty war. Here is the story of the men who pitted their lives against impossible odds in the most dangerous branch of the American armed services.

After a harrowing war patrol in the Sea of Japan, the US submarines of Wolfpack 351 are low on fuel, torpedoes, and morale. Their only means of escape is a narrow passage teeming with enemy aircraft, mines, and coastal batteries - and guarded by a menacing Japanese fleet led by a legendary admiral hellbent on stopping them. Facing the imminent destruction of the entire wolfpack and with few options remaining, the American admirals in Pearl Harbor turn to an aging submarine, the only boat close enough to help.

The USS Seawolf was one of the greatest submarine raiders of all time. Having narrowly avoided the attack on Pearl Harbor the Seawolf set out for the seas of the Pacific to wreak havoc on Japanese shipping. Joseph Melvin Eckberg was on the Seawolf from her maiden voyage and remained with her until January 1943. As chief radioman he was instrumental in assisting Captain Frederick Warder to find and destroy enemy targets. From the claustrophobia of being trapped under water and the overwhelming fear of depth charges to the joys of aiding the war-effort and the camaraderie on the ship.

Story
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the US Navy had a total of 111 submarines. It was mostly a collection of aging boats. Fortunately, with the war in Europe was already two years old and friction with Japan ever increasing, help from what would become known as the Silent Service in the Pacific was on the way: there were 73 of the new fleet submarines under construction. The Silent Service in World War II tells the story of America's intrepid underwater warriors in the words of the men who lived the war in the Pacific against Japan.

As they listened to the death throes of their sister ship Mako sinking in the Pacific where the waters were six miles deep, the crew of USS Eelfish suddenly came of age. They were a new breed: a brand-new fleet submarine crewed by draftees and reservists. Hidebound regular Navy officers believed they wouldn't fight. But fight they did with reckless abandon, proving themselves on two fronts - against the Japanese at sea, and against their own Admirals, who clung to outmoded concepts of how to wage war under the sea.

Mike beneath the ocean aboard the USS Tigerfish, Andrew in the air as a fighter pilot ace. Theirs was a baptism by fire, yet they rose to confront a brutal enemy across the sea-and to chase the explosive dreams that could ultimately destroy them.

In late 1944, America’s recapture of the Philippines is jeopardized by what seems an insurmountable threat from Japan: immense Yamato-class battleships, which dwarf every other ship at sea. Built in total secrecy, these 76,000-ton warships seem invincible. American military intelligence knows of two such ships, but there are rumors of a third, built not as a battleship but as an aircraft carrier. Now ready to go operational from Japan’s heavily defended and mined Inland Sea, a carrier of that size could disrupt the entire invasion effort.

Mission: Impossible
- By AudioAddict on 02-03-15
By: P. T. Deutermann
Publisher's Summary
The year is 1941.
Shortly after the United States declares war on Japan in response to Pearl Harbor, Japan’s Tripartite Treaty allies, Germany and Italy, declare war on America.
The United States finds itself in a two-theater war.
President Franklin Roosevelt sets as America’s first priority the defeat of Nazi Germany, electing to wage a more-or-less holding war in the Pacific.
In the beginning, the only force opposing the Japanese onslaught in the Pacific is the U.S. Submarine Service.
Jake Lawler begins his war as executive officer aboard USS S-49, an aged S-class submarine, with orders to conduct unrestricted warfare against the enemy in the Pacific.
When a freak mid-sea grounding causes the loss S-49, Jake assumes command of another boat, USS Orca, a new Gato-class submarine, under construction in Groton, CT.
As Jake prepares a new boat and a freshly-assembled crew for war, the conflict in the Pacific is going badly for the Allies.
This is the story of Captain Lawler’s eleven war patrols, including an ongoing conflict with Imperial Japanese Navy Captain Hiriake Ito of the destroyer Atsukaze.
The crew of the Orca is made up of grizzled veterans and wet-behind-the-ears youngsters, all working together for a single purpose: to bring an implacable enemy to its knees.
Along the way, friendships are forged, and love affairs and marriages are created - and destroyed.
Pour yourself a favorite libation, grab a comfortable chair, and enjoy a tale that’s sure to hold your interest in Silent Warriors by Gene Masters.

One of the Best WW2 Audio Books !!
One of the Best WW2 Audio Books I have listened to, and I have listened to almost all of Audible's WW2 Submarine Stores. Its a mix of Submarine, land and air war fare from the point of view of a Submarine Commander. It is the best fiction ww2 book I have listened too, suburb narration mixed with sound effects made the 21 hr book go by fast.
If you are into WW2 historical fiction, this is a must read.
Please Gene, write some more ... I will buy every audio book you release !

New Appreciation For The Submarine Force
Thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and learned a lot from the historical and technical accounting. I’m not a fan of war themed stories but this was very good and I gained some sobering insight into what it takes to become a submariner. It truly is one of the military’s elite forces. The narration of the story on Audible was very enjoyable. I may listen a second time.

Old outdated sub fights during the early stages of WWII. The book had some appeal until they started with the sound affect. This cheapened the story and the experience.

Great Story, Well Presented
The story is excellent, it follows the exploits of the USS Orca, a WWII submarine, throughout the entire war in the Pacific. That said, the audible production is exceptional; the reader has a great and expressive voice, and added sound effects only add to the enjoyment of the narration. I would recommend this audio book to anyone who likes a great read.

Overall a Entertaining Listen
Very detailed attack descriptions. The Audio version was hampered by the belief that sound effects would enhance the story. Author was excellent while at Sea, but felt the need to "humanize" the war with "love" subplots. Not what I believe (my opinion of course) that individuals who read/listen to this genre of Submarine Adventure/History/Entertainment are looking for. Also, you would think that the boat was maned by 5 to 6 People. There is much more to a crew than the CO, XO one or two additional Officers and the COB. If you enjoy WWII Pacific Submarine novels, this novel is certainly worth a credit and your time.

As a WWII naval history buff I was hoping for much more. I simply couldn’t stand the performance. It was distracting and goofy. I gave it a good solid 4 hours of listening hoping it would get better, but the longer I listened, the more it began to sound like fingernails on a chalkboard. Aoooga!

Tedious musical interludes. Good story.
Interesting story full of details and context. Unfortunately it contains these painful attempts to inject musical phrases between narrative and between chapters. And they seem to get more frequent towards the end.
