My understanding is the LST accident was hushed to help prevent knowledge of an invasion force build up spreading. As far as the salvagers go, I don't have any problem with the get it done types just getting it done and moving on. The mystery came later.

What was also glossed over in the show was that there was obviously some time spent on the sub as it was broken up into 3 pieces before it was dumped at sea. Nobody noticed all the gear inside when they cut it up?

But then on the other hand, the USN did already have an example of a Japanese midget sub. And one that was completely intact, as opposed to this one damaged by the scuttling charge. It was the one that was beached after the attack. Since they had that one, a second, damaged one may not have been deemed worthy of any mention once it was determined it was identical to the first.

Hushing it up publically isn't the same thing Budda. Nothing in the military is done without generating extensive reports.

Or the bodies of the crew for that matter.
