"CLEAR The BRIDGE!" The War Patrols of the USS Tang. - By Medal of Honor winner, Rear Admiral Richard H. O’Kane, USN (Ret.). The true story of one of America’s top-scoring World War II submarine’s––USS Tang (SS-306), written by her only skipper, “Dick” O’Kane.

In 1987, O’Kane wrote the book "Wahoo." 1977 Hardback edition (second printing) with dust jacket, 480 pages, 23 B/W photos, 11 maps, a complete USS Tang crew roster and an index.
