Ghost Boat

This is a story about a topic very rarely written about the sinking of a submarine in relatively shallow water and having a compartment survive with crew members still alive.

It is divided into several parts:

• Aboard the Discovery Ship, about finding a WWII Navy submarine sunk off the Mid Atlantic Coast in 1942
• Aboard Cutterfish, all about the crew and their lives
• Aboard U-136 about the German crew and their mission
• The Engagement about the very short battle between the two submarines
• Finally 550 Feet of Water about the three surviving crew members writing a log which they hoped someone would find one day about how they spent the final hours of their lives
