About this listen

Like the three volumes preceding it in the series, Sub Tales 4 offers a detailed recounting of some of the most pivotal and poignant moments in the rich history of the Silent Service.

Arranged as an anthology of individual short stories, the book covers many subjects with prose to complement the narrative. Sub Tales 4 benefits editorially from the knowledgeable input of three submarine veterans—Keith Weitemeyer, John Donaldson, and Greg Scott—who painstakingly reviewed all chapters and offered valuable feedback during the composition process.

Many story ideas were supplied by followers of the authors’ Facebook group, “Poopie Suits & Cowboy Boots,” and many vexing questions about some vital piece of esoterica were often posed and answered very quickly using that format.

Our books incorporate that “wiki” approach to yield both accurate and engrossing stories that are certain to inform you more deeply. Specific topics addressed in Sub Tales 4 include the inspiring life story of Charles Lockwood, a key figure in US submarine success during World War II; the serendipitous role of the USS Nautilus during the Battle of Midway; the submarine that carried gold and silver to safety during World War II; Richard Nixon’s relationship with Hyman Rickover, and their memorable overnight cruise aboard the USS Cincinnati; the mysterious and remote lake in Idaho where the Navy performs some of its most robust acoustic research; the story of the deep-diving USS Dolphin; the nuts and bolts of the submarine maneuvering watch; Ronald Reagan’s screen turn as a submarine captain; and many more. These stories are all-new and original, and Sub Tales 4 also benefits from a bonus section comprising short memoirs written by family members of submariners—mothers, wives, and children. .

Sub Tales 4 contains 26 chapters and thousands of historical facts about the US Submarine Force.

Sub Tales 4 by Charles and Frank Hood, narrated by Joeseph Robert Courtmanche is very enjoyable and interesting. My favorite chapters were about my home landlocked state of Idaho. The Idaho Nuclear Engineering Lab in southeast Idaho and Lake Pend Oreille acoustics lab in northern Idaho. I enjoy all submarine stories, but favor non-fiction, real world action, which this is full of. i.e. the 52 missing subs of WWII and the loss of the Thresher. This book led me to listen to Rear Admiral Fluckey's book Thunder Below and its Medal of Honor. Sub Tales 4 also shows that Michael Dimercurio's modern submarine fiction is not as science fiction as I had thought, referring to the story of external torpedo tubes on the real USS Dolphin and the fictional boats.
