This really opened up the life on a nuclear submarine to me. I mean I thought for some reason the nuclear reactor worked like a household boiler almost. Pull the control rods and go as worry free as an appliance or as steady as power from the electric company.Also had no idea of the really long hours and constant lack of sleep. The stench aboard seems to be a bit of controversy depending on the ship. I worked with a former Navy welder who said you could smell a submariner from a mile away but also know a guy who served on a Skate class that said there was no such thing.Very interesting and really cool are the intel recounts told by the author. Cruising right under a Russian sub and photographing the bottom of the hull. Cold War high stakes sneek and peak at it's best. The irony of how such info became classified was well told as well. All in all invaluable to my understanding of life on board a nuke and a great deal of respect for those that volunteered and worked so hard for that life and duty which was the front lines below the sea.
Rig Ship for Ultra Quiet by P. Andrew KaramReview written: November 4, 2013 by John H. Petersen (Ret)I've read all of the submarine books available and the "Spy Sub" by Roger Dunham comes to mind as a close second to "Rig Ship for Ultra Quiet" by P. Andrew Karam. It's a well-written, awe-inspiring, astonishing "semi-fictional account of the author's personal submariner's experiences keeping a daily record from his first day he arrived on-board a nuclear submarine (USS Plunger) at the end of the Cold War. The book circumnavigates other well-written attempts at documenting life on-board submarines, because essentially, the author, worked his way up early-on through the ranks to become senior radiation safety professional with the eight years he spent in the Navy. You'll witness through his eyes focusing on day-to-day operations facing insurmountable challenges confronting his various duty stations, engineering, nuclear and steam propulsion systems, torpedo stations, fire control, supplies, food, fresh water systems, entertainment, watch list, etc. just to name a few. The author is extremely focused on the human element to a much greater degree unlike author, Tom Clancy's books analogous with many other well-written books by Officers and Captains on-board various ships and submarines.The author carefully avoids "need-to-know" classified information and has a remarkable innate way of offering his readers a tasty-bit of his engineering nuclear knowledge without going over-board on security matters. He doesn't offer classified information regarding the actual design specifications or capabilities of any submarine in the US Navy. Similarly, missions were highly classified and until the author knows that they have been declassified, he cannot discuses them in print or elsewhere.The author uses writer's license here due to the highly classified nature of following incident, and he states in the following incident that matters did not take place as described or at the time of the underway period that follows as you read. This particular scenario, is a mind bender! There are moments of great tension on-board the USS Plunger as it trails a Delta IV class SSBN Russian submarine in the Sea of Okhotsk, an area restricted (off limits) by Russia in what they mandated as their own territorial waters. the USS Plunger was built in 1961, old by current state-of-the-art, her equipment antiquated and noisy, the stress is in high-gear for all the men at their duty stations rigged for ultra quiet, everyone is silent, worried, tense as the USS Plunger moves in much too close with the express purpose to photograph Russian ships and submarines through the scope which the author (doubling as the sub's official photographer)...(I'll let the reader complete this event as I do not wish to spoil the suspension of disbelief for the reader.I think it's appropriate to offer the author's impressive credentials, far too many to mention in this brief review, so I will reference a few of the primary ones for the reader to digest.The author, P. Andrew Karam is a respected radiation safety professional with over 20 years' of experience in his profession, beginning with eight years spent in the Navy. He has earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Geology and a Doctorate in Environmental Sciences, all from Ohio State University, In 1995, he earned Comprehensive Certification in Health Physics, the profession that deals with radiation safety. During his career Karam has worked for state and local governments, for an environmental consulting firm and worked in radiation safety at two universities as well as working as a private consultant for several years. He served on the Board of Directors, as a member of the Panal of Examiners for the certification exam and as chair or member of a number of committees. Most recently, he traveled to Japan a month after the reactor meltdown as part of a team that wirked with physicians who were caring for victims from areas affected by the tsunami and radioactivity. He is author of a number of books on science and contributed nearly 200 bylined articles to the encyclopedia project, Science and Its Times. He has written several hundred articles, editorials, and essays for both professional and general audiences. He currently works on matters related to preparing for radiological and nuclear emergencies.For those currently serving as submarine crew members or officers on newer state-of-the-art nuclear boats, unfortunately, they will probably find this book somewhat mundane having experienced much that's written here as standard daily routine. On-the-other-hand, this book has much to offer for anyone interested in naval history. I have no doubt it will become a classic in naval literature finding a wide readership also most consequential, specifically focused on those retired submariners, offering them a bit of nostalgia remembering the good-old-days..I highly recommend this thrilling personal account of what it's like living and working aboard a nuclear submarine (USS Plunger) during the end of the Cold War..a magnificent, significant read that sets it apart from all the others.
Very readable book, which gives a valuable, if slightly sanitised view of life on board the underwater spaceships that comprise the US nuclear submarine naval fleet. The author's writing style is approachable and easily digested, and the necessarily fictionalised final voyage of the USS Plunger is worth the time and investment to read. It is long enough to be a good solid read and the narrative is tight, cohesive and well thought out. All in all a good, informative and interesting read, and one to enjoy on long commutes, or sunning at the beach.
The author certainly knows his technology and doesn't spare the jargon (which I really enjoy). He also offers his impressions freely (which is of course the whole point of the book for the reader). The only aspect that I found lacking, was the storytelling. For me, the book had too little dramatic content and so I didn't find myself caring too much about what happened next. In autobiography, even though it's not fiction, there is a storytelling aspect to the work. Perhaps a little less detail and more personal feelings and conversation, and it would have come together better, for me anyway.Even so, it was definitely worth the time and I enjoyed it.
This book is exactly as advertised. While interesting and informative, it reads like a manual used to qualify for some naval rating. There is absolutely no drama whatsoever in the story, even when they are confronting the Soviet navy off the coast of Kamchatka. It has all the aspects of a training manual. The excessive use of acronyms to delineate the jobs/areas of work was especially irritating, and tended to muddy up the story, along with the occasional typo. The maps and pictures peculiar to a specific area were very good, and well dispersed throughout the plot. While not being a page turner, the book is a goldmine of information on what makes a nuclear sub tick.
A decent account of what it was like on an SSN during the cold war. Brought back memories. My negative reaction stems from the author's high opinion of himself. He fancies himself an intellectual and you don't have to ask him, he let's you know often in this book. He was a senior ELT which was arguably one of the easiest job in the Engineering Department, however he comes off as significant player in the Department. His distain for the Navy comes through loud and clear even as he admits that the discipline and rigor of his nuclear propulsion training is what set his course in life. (To his credit he did go on to earn his PhD). I enjoyed the book but the author's negative attitude towards the Navy, coupled with his elitist attitude cooled off my original enthusiasm.
