Silent Sea

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated with profound respect to the 3,508 officers and men of the United States Submarine Service who sleep peacefully beneath the sea in unmarked graves.

In particular, this book is dedicated to Vice Admiral Glynn R. Donaho, USN (Ret), who distinguished himself as an aggressive and courageous submarine commander — and who was, as well, an inspiration to those fortunate enough to have served with him.
