A true voice of submarining in the 70s and 80s, ex POTI Chas Cooke tells the story of his life in the Royal Navy but concentrates his tale on life in submarines (boats). He writes with verve and relish, including details of ‘how it was’ that some might perhaps leave unsaid when describing their underwater experiences. If you were there – this will remind you, if you have only ever wondered about life in a cramped black tube underwater this will give you the facts – and the laughs.
