From an obituary on the author posted on-line: "He worked as a microwave tube engineer at Hughes Aircraft in Fullerton, CA and Varian Associates in Palo Alto, CA for thirty-nine years and was a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). A veteran of the U.S. Navy, he wrote Nothing Friendly in the Vicinity: My Patrols on the Submarine USS Guardfish during WWII." From Wikipedia: "USS Guardfish (SS-217), a Gato-class submarine, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the voracious green and silvery fish with elongated pike-like body and long narrow jaws. Guardfish was commissioned at New London, Conn., 8 May 1942, Lt. Comdr. Thomas B. Klakring in command. Guardfish departed Midway 8 May 1945 on her 12th and last war patrol, and was assigned lifeguard station for the ever-increasing air attacks on the Japanese mainland. The veteran submarine served with the training command after the war and was decommissioned 25 May 1946."
