@@brucelee3388 That was a midget sub. I think the US sank at least one other midget sub. I think the author is talking about the first full size sub to be sunk .
@@johnfleet235 I-70 was the first fleet sub... Of course, the debate about the midget sub sunk by the USS Ward at the mouth of PH raged until it was confirmed in 2002.
The sinking of the Japanese submarine 1-73 on 27 January 1942 by the US sub Gudgeon was more important. It was the first time a United States submarine in history to sink an enemy combatant ship. It would not be the last.
Good story, I was lucky and got to ride the USS Trutta SS 421. I was honored to work where those heroes worked. God bless all those that lost their lives in WW two
FOR DISTANCE'S SAKE: 1.) MIDWAY, possibly 1/2 across the pacific 2.) HAWAII, perhaps 2/3 across the pacifc 3.) 23ND STREET NAVSTA, SD, USA to YOKOSUKA, JAPAN might take one month of steaming underway

The first Japanese ship sunk was a submarine during the Pearl Harbor attack.
Sunk BEFORE the air attack too.

@@chrislong3938 I read a history of the search for the midget sub sunk by the USS Ward. Very interesting.
A sub is a sub. The. Authors of this video should point this out.
The Long Lance Torpedo was a true game changer in early to mid WWII
Not as much as the "runs too deep/doesn't explode/turns back to you" U.S. torpedoes until 1943.
Yet at the end, the game was not close.
It didnt change the game

The Japanese never adopted a good submarine warfare like the Wolfpack, or an effective convoy shipping system like other countries were doing.
Japanese had the best torpedo of the early war, and they completely misused their submarines
The first Japanese submarine sunk by the US was FAMOUSLY sunk on December 7, 1941, by USS Ward outside Pearl Harbor. Sloppy at best.
Yup.

Lack of radar. Big deficit.
