Wake of the Wahoo: The Heroic Story of America's Most Daring WW II Submarine, USS Wahoo
From Pearl Harbor to her last and fatal
voyage, the heroic story of
America’s most daring World War II submarine, as
told by the only
surviving member of her crew - Forest J.
Sterling.
The USS Wahoo (SS-238) was the most
successful submarine in the
World War II Pacific Fleet. She was the first
to penetrate an enemy harbor
and sink a Japanese ship. She was the first to
wipe out an entire convoy
single-handedly. In her 11 short months of
life, Wahoo managed an
incredible 21 kills, totaling over 60,000 tons
of ships. Then, just 45 minutes
before leaving Midway (island) for her last and
fatal patrol, Yeoman Forest
Sterling was transferred to other duty. The
result is this book;
Wake of the Wahoo, Sterling’s fantastic yet
completely authentic account of
a remarkable crew, captain and the ship they
lived and died for.
Wahoo’s captain - the aggressive and brave
Lieutenant Commander
Dudley ‘Mush’ Morton was the pride of the
submarine fleet. He would
earn the Navy Cross at the helm of Wahoo. The
sub’s executive officer
- the daring Lieutenant Richard H. ‘Dick’
O’Kane. O’Kane would later
receive the Congressional Medal of Honor in
command of the submarine
USS Tang. Forest Sterling tells the story as no
one else could.
Wake of the Wahoo is a true account of American
submarine warfare from
a man who lived it ... and lived to tell about
it.
