Ran across a Fuso in a Task Force. One torpedo sank it. Hit under the aft turret.
While traveling from Hong Kong towards Formosa at 150 feet to avoid the planes I was struck by something. Instant 73% hull damage and wide spread flooding. I manage to get to the surface and travel on scared to go under 100 from that point on due to the damage but made it home to Brisbane.
I recall reading other stories of deep hits but I do not recall what caused them. Water was around 600 feet deep.
