SynopsisWhen a U.S. nuclear submarine collided with a Japanese fishing vessel in the spring of 2001, the story made national headlines. Navy Commander Scott Waddle, former captain of the U.S.S. Greeneville, was at the center of the controversy. This is the first-hand, never-before-published account of that fatal moment and the heart-breaking avalanche of events that followed., The captain of the U.S.S. "Greeneville" reveals the untold story of the deadly collision of the nuclear submarine with a Japanese fishing vessel. His accountability, integrity, and religious conviction provides an inspiring challenge to anyone who is facing difficult choices in any area of life. (Christian), "I'll kill you before I allow you to take the stand to testify without immunity," my lawyer Charlie Gittins railed. "On second thought, I won't have to -- you'd be killing yourself!" I smiled slightly at my defense counsel's impassioned plea. I knew Charlie wanted to protect me, but I felt compelled to take the witness stand. I believed that the truth should be known about the sorrowful events in which I had played a part. "I have to, Charlie. I did it. Nine people are dead because of me."
It is a great "read" and good to get the side of the story from someone that was actually there, and even more especially, from the Commanding Officer. Pictures were wonderful and the information was quite detailed.
