Charles A. Lockwood’s Sink ’Em All: Submarine Warfare in the Pacific (1951) stands as both a memoir and a strategic analysis of the U.S. Navy’s submarine operations during World War II. Written by Admiral Lockwood, who served as Commander of Submarine Force, Pacific Fleet (COMSUBPAC), the text provides a firsthand account of the challenges and successes of undersea warfare against Imperial Japan. Lockwood combines detailed operational narratives with broader reflections on tactics, technology, and leadership, emphasizing the decisive role submarines played in crippling Japan’s merchant fleet and disrupting supply lines. More than a personal recollection, the book functions as a historical document that illustrates the evolution of submarine doctrine, the risks faced by crews in confined and perilous conditions, and the strategic importance of undersea campaigns in the Pacific theater.
