Los japoneses no creyeron: submarino EE.UU. «Asesino de Destructores» hundió 5 buques en solo 4 días

June 6, 1944. Commander Samuel Dealey, captain of the submarine USS Harder, spotted three Japanese destroyers tracking his vessel off the coast of Tawi-Tawi. Standard naval doctrine called for diving to great depth and hiding. Dealey ordered flank speed—straight toward the destroyers. Every training manual stated that this was suicide. Submarine commanders throughout the Pacific called it utter recklessness. They were all wrong. What Dealey discovered that morning had nothing to do with firepower. It had to do with psychology, in a way that contradicted absolutely everything the Navy taught. Japanese destroyer captains expected submarines to flee. When the Harder, on the other hand, went on a direct attack, they hesitated. By June 9—after sinking four destroyers in four days—other submarine commanders began replicating Dealey's maneuver. And they survived. This technique spread unofficially throughout the Pacific submarine force, from commander to commander, saving hundreds of lives even before it appeared in any training manual. The principles discovered off the coast of Tawi-Tawi in June 1944 continue to influence submarine tactics today.
