  Captain Coote recalls his 20 years in the Royal Navy, mostly in submarines from 1942 onwards. There were heart-stopping moments when the 500-ton Untiring , nailed down by accurate depth-charging, nearly became another name on the Submarine war memorial. But she always returned, usually with her Jolly Roger flying. Command of three front-line submarines was followed by an unforgettable tour with USN submarines. He was the first non-American to sail on operations in one of their nuclear boats, Nautilus . Life ashore was never dull either, as these candid, illustated memoirs reveal. He has also written Shell Pilots to the English Channel , The Faber Book of the Sea , and The Fighting Tenth .
