Personally, I'm a Fyfe/USS Batfish fan. Talk about a cool character with another sub out in the dark, not just one time but three in three nights. He sunk them all, very cool when you matching fire with fire. Definitely one Skipper I would like to meet! That took a large set of kahunas to track three Japanese submarines in total darkness just using the radar that had to be turned off and on repeatedly so the Japanese would not pick up the Batfish. True, thrilling stuff there!!!

Agreed, Batfish really has an interesting story to tell. Although I have to admit that O'Kane's repeated night approaches on a Japanese cruiser (Tang's fourth or fifth patrol I think)
on the surface has to be the most insane attack attempt I've ever read about. How in the world could anyone think of such a thing as trying to chase down a cruiser so late in the war when the enemy most certainly had radar capabilities.
