Japanese Destroyers Hunted This Submarine, Until It Turned and Sank 19 Ships

Japanese Destroyers Hunted This Submarine, Until It Turned and Sank 19 Ships. In January 1943, an American submarine crept into an enemy harbor that appeared on no naval chart, guided only by a page torn from a schoolboy's atlas. When Japanese destroyers came for her, her captain did the one thing every manual forbade. He did not dive. He turned his bow toward the warship racing to kill him and waited for it to get closer. What that single decision cost him, and the seventy nine men who followed him without question, is the part almost nobody remembers. Would you have taken that shot, or gone deep and lived to fight another day? If someone in your family served in the submarine service, or in the Pacific, tell us about them below. These crews vanished into silence, and your comment is part of what keeps their names above water. #JapaneseDestroyers #Submarine #WW2 #WorldWarII #PacificWar #SubmarineWarfare #USNavy #WW2History #NavalHistory #WarStories #ImperialJapaneseNavy #Torpedo #WWIIStories #MilitaryHistory ------------------------ Thank you for watching and supporting our channel.
