FOREWORD
I feel mighty proud to be honored by an association with submarines even as remote as writing the foreword for this real human interest story which recounts the thrilling performances of the U.S.S. Seawolf one of the outstanding submarines during the early stages of the war.
I have always had a profound respect and unlimited admiration for our people who travel under the sea. They are a rough and hungry lot. They have played a major role in the war in the Pacific by severing the enemy's lifeline of shipping, and destroying large units of Japan's Imperial Fleet.
The incidents related in these pages bring out the traditions and superstitions of submariners, their comradeship and sociability, the making over of a group of men from various and sundry sources into an integral unit, and the give-and-take life they lead.
The successes of the Seawolf bear testimony to the effectiveness of single-purposeness and teamwork. They bore in, were offensive-minded when targets were there, and they called on all their cunning and skill to evade when the Jap was hurt and mad.
This book will impress you with something all Navy people accept as everyday truth. It is the way the captain carries his ship, how his personality and influence make themselves felt on every man- jack in his outfit.
Freddie Warder and his crew can play on my team anytime, anywhere. The people of our country are indeed fortunate to have on their side killers like the Seawolf crowd who have done a magnificent job from the very beginning. Every American can feel intensely proud of our submarines.
JONAS H. INGRAM Admiral, U. S. Navy Commander in Chief U. S. Atlantic Fleet
