Hunt enemy convoys, battle destroyers, attack land bases, and shoot down aircraft in this long-awaited sequel to the best-selling "Crash Dive". Take command of a Gato-class submarine prowling the South Pacific in search of enemy shipping to sink. Sneak past the destroyers and torpedo the transports, or surface and engage the sub-chasers in a duel with your deck gun.
