I'm sure the crews got uptight at the thought of the Sea of Japan but I tell you what, the new Skippers (Morton, O'Kane later on) were super aggressive and truly wanted to bring the fight to the enemy. These two did and did it very well. Usually their aggressiveness and confidence trickled down to the crew. Specifically Morton and the USS Wahoo. At one point, the Japanese thought they had a wolfpack in that certain part of the world.....it was just Wahoo doing her thing.....gun action and torpedo sinkings.

O'Kane actually put Tangs bow aground while going after a freighter on Tangs fourth patrol. Now that's aggressive!  |
I'm currently reading 'Unrestricted Warfare' The book as far in as I read has O'Kane/Morton patrols. These two guys for whatever forces were put together and became sinking machines. Sometimes Mortons ideas to bring the fight to enemy were so outlandish that O'Kane had to talk Morton out of some of the crazy ideas. But, it was aggressive guys like this that took chances and lived by the skin of their teeth that go the job done. I'm guessing it was the youthful aggressivness and big sub that they were instructed to go sink ships. Just think of yourself at that age being told to go blow things up and here is the sub to do it with. You have our blessing! Have fun and come back soon!
