"The USS Aspro (SS 309)
                - During World War II"
     "...These events happened so many years ago, but they are a part of history and should be passed on to future generations. For too long, the contributions the Submarine Service gave towards winning the war have never been told."
"A Strafing Mission - To Chofu Airfield (West Tokyo)
             by Captain Edward H. Mikes
      "My version," The same Sub Rescue that is one of the events described in the previous article, but this time as seen by the pilot that was rescued - and in his own words!
"A Moveable Feast"
                  by William C. Van Kirk
     The form of "Sea Story" told here reads into and out of itself again in an interacting partnership between the scandalously fabulous and linear reality. Here, several tightly webbed story lines vibrate interactively under the seeing submariner's inner eye. The truth of it is informed by the compressed and knowing light that is cast upon it from the deeps of the writer's and the S-45's experience history, understanding, and the submarine personality - Ed.
