"One of the top-scoring U.S. subs of World War II, the record of USS Snook (SS-279) stands high within the fraternity known as 'The Silent Service.'  During her nine aggressive war patrols against the Japanese, Snook sank 19 vessels totaling nearly 74,000 tons of enemy ships.  Another 13 vessels suffered damage inflected by her torpedoes.  Less than five months before the end of WWII, Snook disappeared without a trace, taking a brave and seasoned crew of eighty-four to their watery graves."                     Rick Cline (Author of Final Dive)
