Where some miracles were nearly weekly.By johnagatesThe manufacturing history; and being in a Naval; Government; mind set; is truly remarkable. With little direction from the bureaucrats; possibly in those days civil service workers; with a culture of; it is a job that is important; the job has to be done ; without building obstructions. The Portsmouth experience was a chapter that was replicated in so many out of mainstream name cities and places. The boats they built were real war horses and the horses of the diesel engines never let one of the heroic men ever have a heart stop; because of their reliance. When one addresses the problems; the need for boats; qualified old hands; new hands from anywhere; the results were simply amazing. From the welder; mechanic; draughtsmen/women ;to the people management of the yard Commanders has been a good ride. The author has given a marvelous insight to what happened in such a short; but remarkable number of years. John Gates;7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Informative; but not very entertaining.By Ken DekingAs a former submariner who rode one of the excellent Portsmouth boats I found the book very interesting. I always felt our boat was one of the best and this gives credence to my opinion.I served on the USS Thornback SS418 in the late 50s. In 1971 it was retired and sold to the Turkish navy. Turkey used it until 2001 and it now rests at a pier in Istanbul as a museum attraction.Not a bad history for a ship built in 1943.
