Summary
Sink 'Em All, was originally published in 1951 by Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, the U.S. 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 writing style is noted for its eloquence and accuracy. While most find it engaging and informative, one listener found the language pretentious. Overall, it is considered a valuable and well-produced listening experience.

Reads like the Iliad, recounting the group and individual triumphs and tragedies, and martial glory of the US Pacific submarine fleet in WW II. An amazing and revealing look at this out of sight force

Pretentious word salad from a previous age. Amusing and I made it to the end. Want a good book on the sea by someone who can actually write, in fact 21 of them? See Patrick O’Brian
