Re: HIJNS Suzuya: Sunk by near miss
Curious about the Cruiser(s) which were aided in their demise by their own torpedoes ? I'm pretty sure of three...
Chokai
Mikuma
Suzuya
Who are 4, 5 & 6 ?
Please tell us a story of each. I enjoy hearing of the details of their self imposed end.
I've always felt it was a shortcoming of the USN (not to install tubes on their CA's), ever since first reading about the Battle of Savo.
Be this such an (end game) danger, I'll have to re-evaluate my position...again.
I know early U.S. torpedoes were pretty bad, and indeed would've probably been a waste of space/weight.....and.....um.....the danger factor ?
