Japan Couldn't Believe One U.S. Sub Sank 5 Japanese Destroyers in 4 Days
Japan Couldn't Believe One U.S. Sub Sank 5 Japanese Destroyers in 4 Days. Every manual said the same thing: when a Japanese destroyer finds you, you dive, you go silent, and you pray. One American commander decided the manuals were wrong, and in four days he convinced an entire imperial fleet that it was surrounded by a submarine wolf pack that never existed. His official citation says five Japanese destroyers sunk. The records after the war could only account for three. So here is what we want to hear from you: standing at that periscope, with an enemy warship coming bow-on at thirty knots and nowhere left to go, would you have fired, or would you have run? And did anyone in your family serve in the Pacific, on submarines, destroyers, or escorts? Tell us below. These crews are remembered only because people like you keep talking about them. #JapaneseDestroyer #WW2 #WorldWarII #PacificWar #SubmarineWarfare #NavalHistory #WW2History #USNavy #ImperialJapaneseNavy #WarStories ------------------------ Thank you for watching and supporting our channel.
