Stevens reveals the incredible true story of the search for and discovery of the \u003ci\u003eUSS Grunion\u003c\/i\u003e. Discovered in 2006 after a decades-long, high-risk search by the Abele brothers—whose father commanded the submarine and met his untimely death aboard it—one question remained: what sank the \u003ci\u003eUSS Grunion\u003c\/i\u003e? Was it a round from a Japanese ship, a catastrophic mechanical failure, or something else—one of the sub’s own torpedoes? For almost half the war, submarine skippers’ complaints about the MK 14 torpedo’s dangerous flaws were ignored by naval brass, who sent the subs out with the defective weapon. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eFatal Dive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book that documents the entire saga of the ship and its crew and provides compelling evidence that the \u003ci\u003eGrunion\u003c\/i\u003e was a victim of “The Great Torpedo Scandal of 1941-43.” \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eFatal Dive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e finally lays to rest one of World War II’s greatest mysteries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57535915819382,"sku":"9781621574255","price":11.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_31541413.jpg?v=1774283458","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781621574255-fatal-dive","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
