Amazon's description:
Told in the third-person format, In the Same Boat is the story of two brothers, one woman, and one submarine. Loughton Stairs joins the Navy to see the world. Left behind, his girlfriend Lisa eventually marries his brother Demain, a gourmet cook more interested in family than adventure. A change in fortunes leads Demain into uniform and to assignment aboard the same boat as Loughton, who’s still got Lisa on his mind. Their ups and downs are played out against the backdrop of the USS Portsmouth, a fast attack submarine they take from its maiden voyage in the Atlantic to a long tour around the Pacific Rim.
Baker grew up in Goose Creek, and he joined the Navy after high school, working as a nuclear mechanic on board a fast attack submarine during the 1980s.Â
