Guerrilla Submarines by Edward Dissette and Hans Christian Adamson tells the story of how Lieutenant Commander Parsons created a radio network known as "Spyron" in the Philippine Islands, and how this network helped to make a proud fighting force out of a poorly equipped group of Filipinos. This would not have been possible without the assistance of Fremantle-based submarines of the United States Navy. The book covers these special missions in an interesting and insightful manner. From February 1, 1943 to January 23, 1945, 19 submarines conducted 41 special missions in support of Filipino guerrilla operations. These missions mostly entailed the delivery of supplies to guerrilla units throughout the Philippine Islands and Sulu Archipelago. Some of the supplies the submarines embarked included ammunition, firearms, explosives, medicines, food, clothing, radio equipment, counterfeit Japanese yen, cigarettes, matches, sewing kits, and ship recognition manuals. In some instances the submarines had to pick up key personnel or classified documents. Often the submarines had to infiltrate shallow harbors, avoid enemy patrols and merchant shipping, or approach unchartered reefs and river deltas. The story of these special missions is a tribute to the skill and bravery of the submarine skippers and their crews. If you are a Silent Hunter enthusiast, once you read this book an insertion mission will never be the same.
