Nevil Shute
“Here they go cruising for a fortnight up in parts where everyone is dead of radiation, and all that they can catch is measles!”
Nevil Shute, On the Beach

“I dragged my gear down to the shore and saw the submariners, the way they stood aloof and silent, watching their pigboat with loving eyes. They are alone in the Navy. I admired the PT boys. And I often wondered how the aviators had the courage to go out day after day and I forgave their boasting. But the submariners! In the entire fleet they stand apart.”
James Michener
