Another good book from the Diver aspect of the salvage operation at Pearl Harbor is "Descent Into Darkness"...the author's name slips me at this time, the result probably of too many decompression dives and breathing compressed Navy air for decades.

As a yardbird myself, I'll tell you that this was brutal and very dangerous work. There were so many ways to die here I can't even begin to list them. Miserable work too, they must have worked 12 hours a day for months to square things away and get them in hand. Both Navy and civilian members of the repair team may never get the headlines they deserved, but this yardbird KNOWS what kind of hell they went through to get the Navy a fleet back out to sea.
