Submarine Attack #33
The lead story "The Jinx" follows a submarine crew engaged in Pacific warfare during World War II. After a torpedo from their vessel destroys a Japanese tanker and ignites fuel tanks on shore, the crew narrowly escapes enemy fire and manages to submerge. The Japanese gunners' repeated misses allow Lieutenant Mike Beneker's submarine to evade multiple attacks, though the vessel is damaged in the process, with the story ending as the submarine prepares to dive for safety.
