She had a brave crew and she was a fine ship. She did not give up. She held the name of pride.

They returned May 15th.. How long did it take them to sail back?

About 5 days. Once they got about 20 miles or so from the entrance to Hilo Harbor they were able to use the little bit a power that had been generated by the screws dragging through the water while they were under sail.

They left out that the Japanese were so low on fuel they did not Zig-Zag anymore, making them sitting ducks for sub.

5 Jan 1943: USS (CC) Helena fires 2 salvos of 5” w/Proximity Fuzing and shoots down IJN dive bomber in first US Combat test of proximity fused AA. May 1945: USS (DD) Evans & Hadley are attacked by over 150 Kamikazes off the coast of Okinawa. All were shot down with only pieces of 6 A/C actually hitting the ships.

Why send a submarine to look for a tugboat?
@TheValorVault
@TheValorVault 14 сағат бұрын
Probably partly because of availability. Remember in 1921 Pearl Harbor wasn't the Naval Base it was 20 years later and the Pacific Fleet was stationed in San Pedro, California. Several of her sisters were also involved in the same search.

Subs of that era stayed on the surface, unless they were on an attack run or evading. It was part of the harbor defense force, so naturally it would be used in coastal search and rescue.

I thought the enterprise was the only carrier at one point?
@TheValorVault
@TheValorVault Күн бұрын
She was, after Hornet was sunk. Enterprise was damaged during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, then Saratoga was torpedoed and sent stateside, then Wasp was sunk. Enterprise returned just in time for the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. She was damaged, but because Hornet had been sunk, they made temp repairs so she could hang around til Sara was back. Crazy times for the USN.

​@@TheValorVault100 correct. And if I'm not mistaken at one point we didn't even have an American Carrier available, we were using one of the british. But yeah there's several good books out there about the hornet, and the other two Enterprise in yorktown.
@joebombero1
@joebombero1 Сағат бұрын
Enterprise and Yorktown were being repaired after Wasp was sunk. For a few weeks, September 1942, the Hornet was the only one in service. Why the Japanese didn't swarm Guadalcanal at that time is a big discussion topic. Another "what if..."

Not at all...Lieutenant Ross Bullard and Boatswain’s Mate First Class C. S. Hall jumped aboard the U-boat and opened the hatch but saw bodies floating in the flooded compartment below. The main deck of the sub was already awash. They quickly cut the line and disembarked back into their boat and began picking up survivors. Spencer only had 1 crew member killed as a result of this engagement, Radioman Third Class Julius Petrella. He and 25 others sustained wounds from the friendly fire during the melee after U 175 surfaced.

​@michaeldoonan1429 Yes, not long before D-Day. They had to destroy it because if the Germans found out the US had one they would have changed the codes. The only one that matter was the one captured in 1940/41 by the RN/RCN
