Archerifsh
As I recall, the Archerfish was considered a bit of a bad luck sub....this combat cruise was a real break through for it. Two of the points that stick out with me is 1) one of the torperdoes stuck right on the butt end af a transverse mounted beam. The explosion blew it clear out of the hull on the far side...greatly increasing the damage (lucky shot!) 2) The Japanese damage control aboard the Shinano was pretty bad. And when DC crew fired up the vents, it spread gasoline fumes thoughout the ship which turned it into a giant bomb.
