Sink ‘Em All

Submarine Warfare in the Pacific

By: Charles A. Lockwood

Narrated by: Eric Martin

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.

The Damage of War

This book sheds light on the everyday men and women you heroically stepped up in a time of need. The imprint of war is never forgotten.

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.

Very Good inside story of our Sub Service

If I would have dad to serve in WW2, I could only HOPE to have as competent Commander as Charles Lockwood!

Very detailed history of the USN Submarines

As CO of the Pacific fleet Submarines in WW2 the author was very detailed about which boat sank what Japanese ships.
