Watching some excellent documentaries about the Battle of Midway this morning I learned that 19 (Nineteen!) US subs were in the region, and apparently only one got into action in any way...with the following result [caveat: according to Wikipedia]:

Subsequent to the air attacks, Nautilus fired torpedoes at what her crew thought was Sōryū but which later research suggests was Kaga. Nautilus claimed one hit the carrier, causing "flames". However, the surviving crew of Kaga reported no torpedo hits after the air attack. Of the four torpedoes launched, one failed to run, two ran erratically, and the fourth was a 'dud', impacting amidships and breaking in half

Lesson Learned: It's a BIG ocean out there... |
I'm currently in a career with the Nautilus. A few patrols back, I was sent to Midway for defense of the island. I didn't see any ships, but I did encounter what appeared to be about 40-50 planes flying in formation due north. The result? 84% damage to my boat...
I just love this game!
