All 10 Sargos, the whole class, where there on 12/7/41
It did not occur to me till just now, all 10 of the Sargos, the entire class, were at Cavite. Holding a class reunion? Seems like there were 3 times as many operational boats forward deployed at Manila than at Pearl when war began, and, if you were a skipper on that day, that was the most likely starting point for your war.
You know, if I were a Japanese commander and was going south, and that large a sub force deployed behind me, across my lines of communications, I'd want to take them out too.
