Had a fascination for submarine stories. If starting subject re-read would start here.
At the Portland of my childhood, just after WWII, there was a dockside Navy submarine ... images of being inside, shudder included.
***
Also think of the Cuban Missile Crisis submarine ending:
Later, Wilson notes: “The decision not to start world war three was not taken in the Kremlin or the White House,� Wilson wrote, “but in the sweltering control room of a submarine.�
***
... partly inspired by 12-year school friend/teammate becoming nuke sub officer during Vietnam years.

My ship, a sub tender, took care of Polaris boats out of Guam on my tour (~ 3 yrs). Impressive technology, subs & missiles both. Awfully glad those missiles were never launched!
Thanks for your review.
