Things that are funny on a submarine but not really / Yannick Murphy.

Murphy, Yannick, (author.).

Summary:

"A nuclear submarine exists due to the laws of physics and for the laws of man. A submariner survives surrounded by high-yield steel, humor, and heartbreak. Things That Are Funny on a Submarine But Not Really is about David, nicknamed 'Dead Man,' and his shipmates. Stationed in Guam, they sail the depths of the oceans, swapping jokes and stories while strengthening bonds continually tested by the rigors of submarine life. But when one shipmate is revealed as a Chinese spy, and another takes his own life, Dead Man is burdened by guilt. Searching for a change, Dead Man leaves the Navy to start fresh as a college student, but his past refuses to let go. The ghosts of former shipmates--both dead and alive--continue to haunt him, and unwilling to stay mired in his memories, Dead Man searches for meaning in a life that feels increasingly foreign"-- Provided by publisher.
