In this episode: January 1943. America's submarine force struggles to gain an edge in the South Pacific. Dudley "Mush" Morton, Commander of USS Wahoo, sets out to turn the tide. The new skipper decides to take on an entire convoy. If he succeeds, he will be the first American submarine commander to claim such a prize.

The fact the Japanese never heavily invested in anti-submarine warfare was one of the biggest disasters for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Once the U.S. Navy finally corrected the problems of their Mark 14 Torpedo’s what little anti-sub vessels the IJN had was a major error that would haunt the Japanese for the entire war. For U.S. Submarines it was a blessing. Add to the fact the U.S. Navy also decided to adopt German Wolfpack Tactics seen in the Battle of the Atlantic and it became a Turkey shoot. The fact that by 1945 Japan had literally been cut off from any of their last resources that could be imported to them speaks to how deadly the U.S. Subs were.

It’s interesting that after winning a battle of attrition in the Atlantic so much so they turned the tables on the axis powers and beat them at their own game by deploying improved tactics derived from the Uboat methodology. The cost of learning those tactics was great however.

@MarkLac 7 ай бұрын

@@ragingmenace1984 cocomelon is his suit. And yes the Japanese Never really invested that much into their Anti-Submarine Warfare, they had focused too much on their offensive striking capabilities rather than defensive. In fact, it was the use of those same Wolfpack Tactics that in a bit of irony would help Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz’s defense case during the Nuremberg Trials because we used the same tactics. Even Nimitz had sent his testimonial interrogatory to the trial for the defense team and it was read right in the Courtroom. This no doubt helped Doenitz’s defense and reducing his sentence to 10 Years in Prison.

That's not exactly how the "down the throat shot" went. The bow of a destroyer was too narrow of a target the odds are against hitting it. Morton would shoot a torpedo close down each side of the destroyer so when it turned to avoid the torpedo, no matter which way the destroyer turned, it was turning towards one of the two torpedoes.

Yeah, the Mark 14 torpedo had a major failure rate during the beginning of the war. And a lot of the submarine crews putting themselves in harms way to ultimately have their weapons fail were made even more vulnerable by the fact that their torpedoes were not working. But once they began to get things ironed out so to speak the Mark 14 became a very lethal torpedo. It was just a little late in earning it's deadly reputation!

It didn't take long for the government and the Navy to rebuild Pearl Harbor which is now the 7th fleet. But this video is very interesting as I didn't know these facts and I wondered about it for a long time but when you look at the distance from California to Hawaii it would not be that far by ship or plane.

The submarine captains started to set the Mk-14 for a shallower depth and stopped using the magnetic exploder. But Admiral Christie had been transferred from the Bureau of Ordnance to Submarines South Pacific. Every time someone complained about the Mk-14 it triggered Christie. When he found out what the sub captains were doing he threatened to relieve every submarine captain that turned off the magnetic exploder or set torpedoes shallower. So the captains stopped putting it in the patrol reports & told Christie what he wanted to hear. When Lockwood took over he listened to his sub captains. And when BuOrd wouldn't listen to him he did his own experiments with the Mk-14 and forced BuOrd to fix the torpedo.
