I finished reading the book, "Operation Storm", about Japan's I-400 class aircraft carrier submarines in WWII. What with the shortages of material, shortages of fuel, etc., it was remarkable the tenacity of the crews right up to the hour, literally, when the Emperor handed down a message to cease all combat operations.
Another good read on submarine warfare on the other side of the globe is "Iron Coffins" by Oberlutenant Herbert Werner, one of three German U-boat captains to fight through the entire WWII and survive. Around March 1, 1945, Werner's boat was damaged and had to go into drydock for repairs. Repairs were estimated at 6-8 weeks. This gave him time to reflect and realize that there was no way Germany would win the war. He hatched a plan. He was single, both of his parents and his sister were lost in the war, his main girl friends were gone, so he began searching personnel files looking for men in similar circumstances. His plan was to put a skeleton crew together and when his boat was fixed scram for South America and take what asylum he could get. His boat had the range, as he had once been on a mining mission in Chesapeake Bay. Then the war ended before his boat was fixed.
