When they (the Japanese) found out that American subs were diving deeper than their depth charges were set for, the Japanese modified them to go off at deeper depths than they previously allowed. Which wasn't that much of a difficulty for them to do in reality.

And that was all thanks to a US politician shooting off his mouth to the newspapers. What a clear cut case of treason as it cost the American submariners much.
