Andy Karam's very readable book "Rig Ship for Ultra Quiet" is one of the most informative, entertaining and candid books on nuclear submarining in the US Navy available today. Karam served as a Petty Officer on the USS Plunger, and his narrative gives the reader a unique and penetrating insight on the authentic life of a nuclear submariner. Whereas most other books in this genre are written by novelists, journalists, and celebrity naval officers, this one is very different. Karam shows us the real thing, the inside story, written from an enlisted man's point of view, and I cannot praise it enough. Think you know the whole story about the US Navy's nuclear submarine force? Put the Clancy book down, and pick up this fine book. It's a first class piece of work. Highly recommended!
