In the midst of reading John McCain's book, Faith of My Fathers, I was struck by the stories of John McCain's father, LCDR John S. McCain Jr., during his command of the USS Gunnel (SS-253) in the Pacific theater of WWII.
Amazing leadership and fighting spirit. Of course, John McCain is a biased writer (no kidding), but the chapter on the Gunnel's exploits is the stuff of legend. I am thoroughly enjoying the book.
