Although this is a work of fiction, it is based upon real events and real people. The USS Halibut is real, and what she accomplished is real. The captain and crew members of Halibut, as depicted in this work, while mirroring many heroic submariners the author was privileged to serve with, are the products of the author’s imagination. The other officers, sailors, and civilians as depicted in this work are compilations of individuals with whom the author served during his twenty-three-year career. The characteristics of individuals in the saturation dive team are a compilation of actual team members as personally known to the author, but none of the characters as depicted in this work are real. The places and incidents actually happened, for the most part, but to several teams over a span of years, in multiple locations, and the specific details are the products of the author’s imagination. Except for several prominent individuals who appear by name doing things they would normally have done, although their recorded actions within this work are fictional, any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.
