Editorial Reviews

Product Description
During five war patrols under the command of Richard H. O'Kane, the Balao class fleet submarine U.S.S. Tang was credited with sinking a total of 31 Japanese ships, for a wartime total of 227,800 tons. The victim of a circular running torpedo during her fifth war patrol, only eight members of her crew, including O'Kane, survived to spend the rest of the war in Japanese captivity.

This volume contains the complete text of Tang's five official war patrol reports. Also included is an Introduction, notes, and additional reference material.

1.0 out of 5 stars USS Tang (SS306) American Submarine War Patrol Reports, November 9, 2007
This would serve as an excellent reference if it were not for inaccurate data. The claim of eight men surviving the loss of Tang vice the actual nine and, listing 85 officers and men on board during the fifth patrol, vice the actual 87, caused me to put the booklet aside. To delve further into this work would be a waste of time.
