It's a strange but wonderful feeling to have discovered this hidden gem of a series after 50 or so years of watching various conflict documentaries. I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time learning about those brave submariners and their extraordinary exploits and missions. Thank you very much for uploading this magnificent body of work for all to enjoy and more importantly that we have a duty to remember them and those who paid the ultimate price for my freedom.

My dad was on the Peto during the war and stayed on subs till he retired. He stayed in touch with many of the crew including "Laboon" as I always knew him and Doc Prothero (Joe Flynn here). I remember Dad saying that during this patrol while the shore battery was firing at them, the Captain kept shouting encouragement down below claiming "they're missing by a mile" and "Can't hit crap". Things like that, even though the boat was shaking from the near misses. After it was all over, he said their was shrapnel on deck and shattered teak decking, so maybe the Cap was downplaying it a tad. The surviving crew was invited to the commissioning of the USS Laboon (DDG 58) and I went along, a great experience. The Captain Caldwell was a very large, friendly, calm man. Every inch the skipper you would expect.

Father Laboone went on to serve 22 years as a Navy chaplain, including service with Marines at the front in Viet Nam. He retired in 1980 as Fleet Chaplain of the Atlantic fleet. In 1993, the Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS Laboone (DDG-58) was named after him

Sadly, it is beginning to appear that the country these brave men fought for, and many died for, is fast becoming history. What our government is turning it into will soon be nothing like the great country it once was. Everybody is so butt hurt over being politically correct and not hurting anybody's feelings that all of the liberties we once knew are being taken away from us. This was truly the greatest generation, fought for by the greatest of men and women.

my comment is not about this episode per se. i have family members that were in active duty at the end of the war, and the fragile atmosphere they lived in was one that i understand from being in iraq when hostilities were erroneously reported to have ended... i would hope, that peace would be found everywhere, but with ukraine and russia, north korea and china, and even the insane hawks of the USA, i know that peace is not possible. as for the bravery of this man to risk his life to save a flier, what can you say? courage, yes, but knowing he might die in the attempt. bravery? yes, but so much more. this is when something super human is exhibited in men, that defies words and is something one must always want to attain, not for glory but for the best welfare of other men and women.

Somewhat interchangeable depending on the context, the audience your talking to, etc. etc. , in my life it was about 80%/20% Boat/Ship.....They are called "boat" because a boat is a vessel that can be carried by a larger vessel (a ship). In the VERY EARLY, REPEAT: VERY EARLY days of the sub service, submarines were transported on bigger ships to their area where they would operate and then put in the water, when done with a particular operation, it would be put back on the transport ship and taken to its next assignment.

The EXO has certain duties as well as the enlisted man has certain duties. No one on the submarine is an enlisted shrub. We earned the right to ride them and that is not easy. Everyone who rides submarines goes through a battery of test to make sure you are able to meet the rigorous standards of submarine life. They also go to specialize schools to be sure they are trained in the areas that they are needed. I think it is highly disrespectful to call anyone a shrub unless you are talking about yourself. All of the people who volunteered to serve on submarines are willing to lay their lives down. The United States submarine service had the highest death rate of all the services, they also sunk more tonnage than all the rest of the services added together.
