Over the course of five years, investigative reporters Sherry Sontag and Chris Drew interviewed hundreds of men who had never spoken about their underwater lives—not even to their wives and children. They uncovered a wealth of classified information: the tapping of undersea Soviet telephone cables, the stealing of Soviet weapons, the tragic collisions of enemy submarines.

The information was interesting, but the way that the author conveyed it made it seem dull.
Collisions between submarines is not fanciful idea. In 1998 two U.S. nuclear subs collided off Long Island.
