Blind Man's Bluff
by Christopher Drew
For decades American submarines have roamed the depths in a dangerous battle for information and advantage in missions known only to a select few. Now, after six years of research, those missions are told in Blind Man's Bluff, a magnificent achievement in investigative reporting. It reads like a spy thriller -- except everything in it is true. This is an epic of adventure, ingenuity, courage, and disaster beneath the sea, a story filled with unforgettable characters who engineered daring missions to tap the enemy's underwater communications cables and to shadow Soviet submarines. It is a story of heroes and spies, of bravery and tragedy.
A Glimpse of Hell
by Charles C. Thompson
A harrowing account of a disaster at sea that, over a decade later, still reverberates through the ranks of the U.S. Navy. Early on an April morning, in the course of a routine training exercise in the Caribbean, the center gun in Turret Two of the recommissioned battleship USS Iowa blew up. The fireball that surged back into the seven-story death chamber released clouds of poisonous gases and ignited bags of powder, setting off further explosions. When firefighters finally battered open the escape hatch to the upper level of the turret, they saw bodies everywhere. At the base of the pit under the center gun room lay the remains of a sailor, much of his body missing. Tattooed on the upper left arm was a sailing ship with the words USS Iowa. Only one man on the battleship had a tattoo like that: second-class gunner's mate Clayton Hartwig. A botched investigation began mere hours after the deadly explosion. Captain Fred Moosally, an Annapolis football star who had recently taken command of the Iowa, declined an offer of assistance from a professional accident team aboard a nearby aircraft carrier. At his order, some 250 sailors labored to clean up the scarred turret, heaving immense steel plates and bulky pieces of equipment overboard and scrubbing off splatters of gore before painting the structure inside and out. Matters got even worse when the investigation began on land. A technical team managed to lose key evidence, two 2700-pound projectiles, in a locked storage facility, while conducting tests that proved nothing but the team's own incompetence. Squads from the Naval Investigative Service tried to twist testimony from grieving relatives of the slaughtered crew members. The concerted effort to pin blame for the Iowa explosion on Seaman Hartwig, supposedly acting to revenge a thwarted homosexual affair, ultimately destroyed careers up the chain of command of the U.S. Navy.
