Description: This is true:
In the mid-nineteen-sixties some conventional fleet submarines were refitted to carry small teams of combat swimmers (Underwater Demolition Teams [UDT{also known as frogmen}] and Sea, Land and Air teams [SEALs]) for a variety of combat operations. Their primary mission was beach reconnaissance. Detachment Charlie operated from the USS Perch APSS 313 (USS Hagfish in the novel) later the USS Grayback LPSS 574, and USS Tunny LPSS 282. These submarines were left over from World War II, but all were still plenty spirited.
This is fiction:
This novel follows Brice Wesley Moser, a seventeen-year-old farm boy from Iowa from his induction at Des Moines, through bootcamp and Class A Weapons School at San Diego, to his first short duty at a guided missile unit at Pearl Harbor, to volunteering for submarine duty and landing on the USS Hagfish, a boat specially-fitted for hauling troops and dispersing special ops UDT and SEAL team members while submerged.
