@MM,I didn't know that about the Tambor,I bet that was a eye popping cup of coffee that morning when she realized here escrt party

By hindsight I meant... as Peto said.. that the americans were a bit uncertian as to the best method to use the submarines. Not to mention the 'political' aspects of whom actually commanded the silent service.

As it turned out allied forces put a definate crimp into the IJN's style at great costs and unimaginable sacrifice and bravery.

Lets not also forget the IJN's clever attempt at a diversonary force. What if they had fell for that?
