Yashimoto's last dive

Togo Yashimoto, captain of the Japanese submarine I-357, a ruthless disciplinarian steeped in the samurai tradition, and John Barratt, captain of HMS Restless, haunted by his wife's death while a prisoner of the Japanese in Changi Jail, were two very different men whose destinies were linked in the deadly game of hide and seek they were to play out among the islands and atolls of the Mozambique coast. Damaged while attacking an American freighter, Yashimoto makes for the coast to carry out repairs and to hide. HMS Restless rescues the only surviving crew member of the Fort Nebraska, and on the strength of his report, Barratt sets out after the Submarine.
