U.S.S. Mudskipper : the submarine that wrecked a train : a novel
Rare Books
"Commander Tolliver of the U.S. Submarine Mudskipper was cruising off the coast of Hokkaido, the northernmost Japanese island, when he first spied the train on its daily run along the shore line. The Mudskipper had previously taken a tremendous toll of enemy shipping; now for weeks its periscope had searched the horizon in vain. Perhaps the daily freight and passenger train might take the place of a tramp steamer or a destroyer. So Commander Tolliver made plans to wreck the Japanese train. What follows is a story packed with mounting suspense, filled with the throat-gripping tensions of men on a dangerous undersea mission - a realistic novel that in its climax fairly explodes before the reader's eyes"--Dust jacket flap.
