We all know submarines played a major role in the war in the Pacific. But did you know 27 subs were built in Wisconsin? We talk to Jerry Pilger who worked on the first seven built there. But, what was it really like to be a crew member on a sub? How crowded and cramped were they? What was it like to be hunted by Japanese ships and attacked with depth charges? We ask World War II submarine veterans Earl Fosgard and Bud Masinck. What is life like aboard a modern day sub? Kevin Rolan served on a “Boomer” in the early nineties and tells us all about it.
