I am randychap's sister and daughter to Lucius Chappell, combat skipper of Sculpin out of Cavite when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Sculpin completed 8 sorties in the first 12 to 14 months of the war. Mr. McCullough captured the exploits of Sculpin so completely and so vividly that it had me spellbound and sometimes laughing.

tourprest, my husband's family is acquainted with yours in Ms/Ark.

My great uncle Fred Connaway commanded the Sculpin, and died fighting with the deck guns after the damaged ship surfaced.

@toutjourprest You should be proud. Thanks to your great uncle and your family's sacrifice. God Bless America.

any mention of USS Argonaut S166?

I served aboard the ship named after the skipper..... the USS Cromwell DE1014 from 1966 to1968. Very nice work.

A Tale of Two Subs is compelling history and an excellent read. It brings a new dimension to the war in the Pacific. I couldn't put it down.

What that the USS Massachusetts (BB-59) in the beginning? I'm pretty sure that was.

Nice work, is this by any chance a full length movie / documentary? I will definately check out the book. Thanks for putting this video on.

S-1 William Henry Welsh was my uncle (mother's brother). He was the mortally wounded sailor who was cast overboard. I have researched the Sculpin extensively and was set aback when I saw this. I have spoken to the author and thanked him for such an amazing book and video.

John Allen, the second in command on the Sculpin, was my uncle. It was mesmerizing to hear and see this story.

[randychap]

I am the son of the skipper of the Sculpin. He would be proud of this story and the accuracy of the facts. I thank you Johnathan

I am friends with the author and he has done a superb job researching this story, interviewing all the surviving crew members that could be located, and digging into archival sources. It is one of the great heroic stories of WWII, one that is also featured at the Submarine Museum in Groton, CT. This is an outstanding read. PS. Anyone visiting the museum in Groton should also visit the nearby WWII U.S. Submariners Memoiral which includes the conning tower of the USS Flasher (SS-249).
