ENRIGHT, JOSEPH F.; RYAN, JAMES W. Shinano! the Sinking of Japan's Secret Supership
St. Martin's Press, 1987. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Hard Cover. Good/Good. Book club edition. Pages lightly toned, dust jacket has chipping along page edges, toned on inside. "Books have immortalized Japan's super battleships Yamato and Musashi, but the top-secret conversion to an aircraft carrier of a bigger sister ship, Sinano, has remained part naval legend, part military secret. Even after this huge mystery carrier was sunk on her first night at sea by Captain Enright's submarine Archer-Fish, U.S. intelligence questioned Shinano's existence. Captain Enright, documenting this story with help from his Japanese counterparts, has dramatically brought to life the men and events on both ships in the moment-by-moment storytelling tradition of The Enemy Below. This is the first and definitive book on the Pacific war's most remarkable one-on-one sea battle, by its key surviving participant. ".
