I havent sunk any gato or balao yet,only a nice schkuka in the blacke sea and a T class in the med, and both sank after one torpedo hit. I dont think that a sub could stand a torpedo hit and survive more than some minutes, even the 2500 ton fleet boats. In particular, USS Tang, was hit by one of his own torpedoes ( the last one !!!) in the after part, (not in the center of the hull), and managed to stay afloat for only about 5 minutes.

Where your torp exploded Boneman?:hmm: (in which part of the gato's hull?)
