By 1945, the U.S. Navy's submarine force in the Pacific had sunk over a thousand enemy cargo ships and tankers supplying the food, weapons, and oil Japan needed to continue to fight.

  On April 23, 1943, the seventy-man crew of the USS Grenadier scrambled to save their submarine—and themselves—after a Japanese aerial torpedo sent it crashing to the ocean floor.

No Ordinary Joes tells the harrowing story of four of the Grenadier ’s crew: Bob Palmer; Chuck Vervalin; Tim McCoy; and Gordy Cox.
