"Surface with Daring"
by Douglas Reeman (a.k.a. Alexander Kent) 
This is a great
adventure about a midget submarine and an attack on a German installation
in Norway, which is heavily involved in the secret rocket program.
What I particularly like about this book is the strong characters,
especially the boat commander Seaton and his old salt commander.
Reeman also did his homework and gives excellent descriptions
of the training and operation of such small craft. I really enjoyed
this book due to the different subject matter and the fine standard
that Reeman sets in naval fiction (read the Richard Bolitho series
about the British Royal Navy during the American and Napoleonic wars).
