World War II Submarine Doc

In this dramatic story of his 20 years in the Submarine Service, Herbert L. "Doc" Starmer describes submarine life in detail from the viewpoint of a Chief Pharmacist Mate. His was a position greatly respected by officers and crew alike as he alone took care of their medical needs under the most difficult of circumstances in battle, on the surface, and beneath the ocean. This is a story of dauntless submariners attacking and under attack and of the man they called "Doc" who tended the injured and wounded and prepared the dead for burial at sea.
