This video tells the extraordinary—and deliberately muted—story of a single American submarine that destroyed 26 Japanese ships during World War II. Operating deep in enemy-controlled waters, this boat became one of the most lethal predators of the Pacific War, striking merchant convoys, troop transports, and escorted targets that were supposed to be protected.
But this isn’t just a story of firepower and tonnage. It’s about how submarine warfare really worked: long patrols, faulty torpedoes, relentless depth-charge attacks, and crews living for weeks under crushing pressure and constant fear. Every successful attack increased the risk of detection, and survival often depended on silence, discipline, and luck.
So why did the U.S. Navy keep this submarine’s success relatively quiet? This video explores the reasons—wartime secrecy, intelligence protection, morale concerns, and the fear of revealing just how vulnerable Japanese shipping had become. Publicizing too much could have helped the enemy adapt.
We break down the patrols, the tactics, and the human cost behind the numbers, while separating myth from documented history. It’s a reminder that some of the most effective actions of the war happened far from headlines, beneath the surface, where victories were counted in silence and survival was never guaranteed.
