A memoir detailing the salvage operations performed at Pearl Harbor after the Arizona , Oklahoma , and Utah were sunk by the Japanese. Raymer, chief diver during the operations, describes the rescue attempts and the eery diving expeditions made to recover war material. The combination of working in the dark with sharks, floating human bodies, and under threat from Japanese attack above make the story compelling, a combination between Stephen King and Hermann Wouk. No index or bibliography. Includes photographs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
