Exit Plan

This is an okay book written by Larry Bond. Jerry Mitchell is on exercises off the coast of Pakistan when his submarine, the USS Michigan, is ordered to a rendezvous off the Iranian coast. Once there, disembarked SEALs – experts in seaborne commando operations – are to extract two Iranian nationals who have sensitive information on Iran’s nuclear weapons program. While en route to shore, Michigan’s mini-sub suffers a battery fire, killing one crew member and forcing the survivors – four SEALs and Lieutenant commander Mitchell – to scuttle their disabled craft and swim for shore.
