| Summary | "The Brighton Boys with the Submarine Fleet" by James R. Driscoll is a fictional novel written during the early 20th century, likely inspired by the events of World War I. The story centers around the adventures of two friends, Jack Hammond and Ted Wainwright, as they enlist in the United States Navy's submarine fleet and embark on perilous missions against German forces in European waters. As young recruits, they navigate the challenges of naval training and encounter the realities of warfare, all while forging a strong bond of friendship. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Jack Hammond, who is inspired by a recruitment advertisement calling for young men to serve in the submarine fleet. Alongside his friend Ted, he makes the decision to enlist, determined to do his part for the war effort. Their parents, though initially apprehensive, ultimately support their choice. The narrative quickly transitions into their training aboard the submarine, "Dewey", where they experience their first dive and learn the inner workings of the vessel. As the plot develops, it reveals the dangers they face, including encounters with enemy submarines and German raiders. The opening chapters establish the foundational elements of adventure, camaraderie, and patriotism that permeate the rest of the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
