  • Excellent book as I read it.I experienced a lot of this book as I started working at 16 years old on the subs in 1943.
    The first sub I worked was the USS BANG.I worked on 38 subs through 1944 until I went in the US ARMY INFANTRY.So I
    have first hand knowledge of the events of this book.I was a firstclass shipfitters helper at the time.We had 5 subs.
    being built on the building ways,3 subs in Drydock #1 and 2 subs in the Basin.I was on a crew of 3 [2 shipfitters and
    me]installing after torpedo shutters[4]on 24 of the subs.The other 14 subs.I was assigned to was doing other tasks my
    Leading Man told me to do.There were 3 shifts around the clock 24/7.Everyone pulled together to get the subs. built.
    Some of the submarines would be weighed boats,in other words,anything added to a sub.would have to be weighed if
    added to the sub.If a welder took his welding rods on the boat to weld,they had to be weighed and when he came off the
    sub his welding stubs had to be weighed and be deducted because he hadn't used them on the sub.The book is a 5 STAR as
    it tells of how we built submarines in WWII.VERY ENJOYABLE

  • As a former submariner who rode one of the excellent Portsmouth boats I found the book very interesting. I always felt our boat was one of the best and this gives credence to my opinion.
    I served on the USS Thornback SS418 in the late 50s. In 1971 it was retired and sold to the Turkish navy. Turkey used it until 2001 and it now rests at a pier in Istanbul as a museum attraction.
    Not a bad history for a ship built in 1943.

  • Thi book was not only factual but almost reflective. Just the title amazes. While I am sure many folks on an assembly crew do their job well in a streamlined way, this is a textbook for work well done. Most importantly, the time demanded "ahead of schedule, under budget".

  • It's not bad but is somewhat repetitive. Lots of good information that you probably never even considered before about how/where ships were built.

  • my husbands sub was built there, and he loved the book. It has a lot of history, and those who served on these boats will enjoy it.

  • The manufacturing history, and being in a Naval, Government, mind set, is truly remarkable. With little direction from the bureaucrats, possibly in those days civil service workers, with a culture of, it is a job that is important, the job has to be done , without building obstructions. The Portsmouth experience was a chapter that was replicated in so many out of mainstream name cities and places. The boats they built were real war horses and the horses of the diesel engines never let one of the heroic men ever have a heart stop, because of their reliance. When one addresses the problems, the need for boats, qualified old hands, new hands from anywhere, the results were simply amazing. From the welder, mechanic, draughtsmen/women ,to the people management of the yard Commanders has been a good ride. The author has given a marvelous insight to what happened in such a short, but remarkable number of years. John Gates,

  • Very interesting and in depth. Having worked at PNS this book provides a great historical perspective. Look forward to reading the author's book on the PNS Prison.

  • Very interesting, especially for anybody interested in WW2 submarine construction. But the photos and drawings are rendered too tiny on the Kindle edition. Buy the printed version, or just forget it.
