Japan Struggled to Accept That One U.S. Submarine Sank 33 Ships in Nine Months

Описание: Why one American submarine shattered Japan’s shipping lifelines — and paid the ultimate price for its deadliest success.

In the forgotten story of the Pacific War, few crews pulled off something as shocking as USS Tang. Against all odds, this single American submarine stalked the darkest sea lanes and sank 33 enemy ships in just nine months, a pace so brutal the Japanese couldn’t believe it was real. Led by the relentless Richard O’Kane, Tang hunted convoys others feared, slipping into heavily guarded formations and striking with cold precision. This untold history isn’t about steel and torpedoes alone. It’s about exhausted men holding their breath in silence, about decisions made in seconds that sent thousands to the bottom, and about a crew who never knew if they would surface again. Tang’s patrols tightened the noose around Japan’s war economy, starving an empire ship by ship. But at the height of her triumph, fate turned cruel. A single torpedo betrayed its own boat, ending the most lethal submarine campaign in American history in sudden tragedy. This is the forgotten story of courage, loss, and a victory that came at a devastating cost.
