Subject: UAA Batfish book

Just finished "In the Course of Duty" by Don Keith, about the USS Batfish SS310. Picked up book this last spring when I visited her in Oklahoma. Nice book, written by a NQP but still OK. Just wish he had not talked about being seeing a B-52 in 1944. Don't know much about the Air Force, but think that was an observation a decade or so too early.
What are other good sub books that some of you might recommend.
