Octavo, blue cloth (hardcover), xix, 293 pp + [iv] pp. Fine in a Very Good dust jacket with edgewear. From dust jacket: An exciting, personal naartive by the skipper of the nuclear submarine that cirumnavigated the earth, submerged! When the 447 1/2-foot nuclear-powered submarine USS Triton was commissioned on November 10, 1959, its commanding officer, Captain Edward L. Beach, was ordered to take the Navy's newest underwater giant on a routine shakedown. But two weeks before the scheduled cruise, Beach was unexpectedly summoned to Washington, D.C., and in a secret Pentagon conference learned of the immediate necessity for proving the reliability of the Rickover-conceived sub. There would be no time for routine runs in familiar Atlantic waters. Captain Beach's new secret orders instructed him to take the Triton around the world! Here is the Captain's gripping first-hand account of what went on during this more than 36,000 nautical-mile voyage. Interspersed with excerpts from the ship's log, it brings to life the many tense events in this historic journey: the malfunction of the essential fathometer which indicated the location of dangerous, undersea mountains and a shallow waters; the anxious hours surrounding the sudden, agonizing illness of a petty officer; and later, the serious casualty to the ship's main hydraulic oil system which might have been a major catastrophe if not for the quick thinking of an enlisted man. With unerring detail, Captain Beach tells too of the psychological stresses of such a journey, as well as the many light moments he shared with the members of his crew. The humorous crossing-of-the-equator ceremony, Stewardsman Carbullido's touching periscopic glimpse of the native island he had left fourteen years earlier -- all are vividly revealed in this intensely dramatic chronicle. A remarkable story of dedicated men, Captain Beach's spellbinding account of this top-secret voyage is certain to endure as one of the great annals of the sea.
