But the USS \u003ci\u003ePampanito\u003c\/i\u003e was not a typical submarine. The sub and its crew caused plenty of destruction, but they found the pinnacle of their honor and fame in a dramatic sea rescue. Gregory F. Michno relates the experiences of the crewmen--both enlisted men and officers--who served on the USS \u003ci\u003ePampanito.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The \u003ci\u003ePampanito\u003c\/i\u003e story begins with the boat's construction in 1943, continues through its six combat missions, and concludes with its decommissioning after the war in 1945. The heart of the book is the September 12, 1944, attack on a Japanese convoy carrying English and Australian POWs from the Burma-Siam Railway (of \u003ci\u003eBridge on the River Kwai\u003c\/i\u003e fame) to prison camps in Japan. The \u003ci\u003ePampanito\u003c\/i\u003e helped sink two of the prison ships, unwittingly killing hundreds of Allied soldiers, but then returned to rescue the survivors. The crew picked a record seventy-three men from the sea.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 464\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52632955322675,"sku":"9780806133485","price":46.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/rMLSQPPGFh9780806133485.webp?v=1762217677","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/uss-pampanito-killer-angel-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
