In September 1943, the U.S. Pacific Fleet sent a “flag fish” such as No. 10 submarines to the central Pacific. The mission of the submarine are mainly engaged in surveillance activities, and the opportunistic to the rush to the rescue of the Japanese navy ships and transport ships to attack.
November 30, 1943, Struck exit from the Japanese navy’s “red eagle,” number and “Cloud Eagle” was to escort aircraft carrier, and their destination is Japan’s Yokosuka. A few days before, “red Eagle” number and “Cloud Eagle” aircraft carrier has just a few dozen Japanese planes sent to Truk. In order to ensure the safe return of these two aircraft carriers in mainland Japan, in accordance with the instructions of the Japanese Naval Operations Command from “Maya” was heavy cruiser and “Pu Wind” destroyer and the “red Eagle” number and “Cloud Eagle” aircraft carrier was composed of formation.
At 23 o’clock on December 3, 1943 or so, is latitude 32 ° N 143 ° near the waters of the U.S. Navy submarine “Swordfish” was the use of boats on the radar found a suspicious target, target distance, 8650 meters, it is to “flag fish “was close to the location. 8 minutes later, “swordfish” was gradually found another three goals. It turns out that four goal is to return to Yokosuka on the way is being used by the Japanese Struck “red Eagle” aircraft carrier formation.
At this point it is nearly midnight, high winds accompanied by heavy rain, the sea rolling waves, visibility is very low. Captain Ward Captain directs the whole crew, ready for battle, the “flag fish” was then to surface navigation gesture, braving the sea waves, to look towards the speed of 12 Japanese Zhezhi carrier battle group.
When the Japanese fleet at sea Zhezhi closer, the captain in command of Captain Ward “flag fish” submarine quickly submerged, and then measured according to radar data, the use of submarines Department 4 bow torpedo tubes Alignment “Chong Eagle” aircraft carrier salvo of four torpedoes, of which two hit the “red eagle.”
In order to completely destroy the injured, “red eagle,” the Persian Gulf, “flag fish” submarine float to the surface, risking their command of the hatch may be Pujin the risk of seawater, chasing Zhezhi carrier battle group. At 2:40 on December 4, “flag fish” submarine’s radar detected the Japanese aircraft carrier battle groups began a tortuous Zhezhi navigation, so that the speed of the entire aircraft carrier fleet immediately drop down. This change in the situation at sea, has become more conducive to “flag fish” was to occupy a favorable position array.
5:52, “flag fish” submarine to the “red Eagle” aircraft fired three torpedoes, of which two hit. At this point is at sea before dawn, in a large number of flares of shine under the sea seemed a bright, “flag fish” submarine’s location along exposed. So Ward captain in command of “flag fish” submarine rapid dive to evade. “Flag fish” submarine navigation in the water the next for a distance to avoid being attack Japanese convoy ships on the one hand re-filled with torpedoes, ready to wait for an opportunity once again to be badly hit the “red Eagle” aircraft carrier to launch new attacks.
7:48, when the “flag fish” was re-float the surface, the days have been great light, the sea after a night of torrential rain, the visibility is very high. At this point, “flag fish” on the look-out submarine officer found that “red Eagle” aircraft carrier, while still floating on the water, but it seems a motionless on the sea of.
Ward captain think we should lose no time on the “red Eagle” aircraft carrier for another torpedo attack. His command, “flag fish” submarine submerged, from the “red eagle,” the carrier’s port side to bypass the stern, sailing to the “red eagle” was starboard side of the bow. The discovery of “red eagle,” the carrier some tilt to the port side, so the captain decided to continue the attack on Ward “red eagle,” the carrier’s port side. Thus, under the command of captain in the Ward, “flag fish” submarine again around the back to the “red eagle,” the side of the carrier’s port side.
9:40, “flag fish” submarine fired three torpedoes, approximately 2-3 minutes later, Tingnei officers heard two dull explosions. Since then, the Japanese right “flag fish” submarine search operations continued for about half an hour, but the “flag fish” submarine has long been away from the scene.
“Chong Eagle” aircraft carrier in the “flag fish” submarine torpedo attack on the 3rd, the many of the cabins are located on the port side was severely damaged a large number of water inside the ship, was at 9:48 on December 4 sank in the rough of the Pacific Ocean.
“Flag fish” submarine peril, in the wind and rain of the Pacific Ocean on a continuous tracking ship nearly 10 hours, after 3 attacks, and finally the “red Eagle” aircraft carrier sent to the seabed. The military action has been called “the Pacific War battle at sea during one of the best.” (According to “Modern ships” Qi Yi-rong / text)
