“A Pearl Harbor Anniversary” 80 Years Ago, Today – (Monday) December 7th, 1942: In the Pacific, 204 miles southwest of Iwo Jima, which at this time is still deep in Japanese territory, the US Navy can still strike the Japanese. The submarine USS Kingfish (SS-234, Gato-Class, Photo 1), closes in on the Japanese cargo ship “Hino Maru No. 3.” (No Photo) The torpedoes cause the ship to erupt in flames hundreds of feet high. Kingfish’s crewmen take turns watching the inferno through the periscope, no doubt relishing their victory one year to the day that the Japanese had shattered the Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor. Hino Maru No. 3 goes to the sea floor, taking 19 men with her. 26 others survive, and are rescued. ** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photos: 1, history.navy.mil #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #onlyinnewjersey #njspots #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #usskingfish #gatoclass #americansubmarine #usnavy #unitedstatesnavy #pacificfleet #pearlharboranniversary #december7th #decemberseventh #silentservice #subpac #torpedoattack #tinfish #imperialjapanesenavy (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl39EfWA5Yr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“On Eternal Patrol – The USS Amberjack” Eighty Years Ago, Today – (Tuesday) February 16th, 1943, off New Guinea, in the South Pacific: A half a world away from the carnage in the Atlantic, we suffer a grave loss in the Pacific, as well. The American submarine USS Amberjack (SS-219, Gato-Class) has been operating in hazardous, Japanese waters for several days, and has drawn the attention of Japanese ships, which she has evaded. Her good fortunes come to an end when an enemy plane, and then patrol boats, find and attack her at the mouth of Warangoi Bay between New Guinea and New Ireland. It is a horrifyingly violent depth-charge attack, as large portions of the sub float to the surface along with a large oil slick. She is lost with All Hands. USS Amberjack and her crew of 72 Officers and Men of the United States Navy remain on Eternal Patrol. 80 Years Ago, Today… Never Forgotten. 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photo: US Navy, via PubDom uboat.net #visitmonmouth #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #ussamberjack #amberjack #pacificfleet #pacificwar #pacifictheater #gatoclass #americansubmarine #ussubmarine #usnavy #silentservice #eternalpatrol #oneternalpatrol #theyshallnotdietwice #neverforgotten #honorthefallen (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CovKyfNPxG_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The USS Torsk a Gato class submarine built at the end of WWII by Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. She served in the Pacific against the Japanese fleet. She made quite the formidable foe with ten torpedo tubes. @historicshipsinbaltimore @maryland.state @stateofmaryland @visitmaryland #historicships #historicshipsbaltimore #historicshipsbmore #usstorsk #tenchclass #gatoclass #submarine #usnavy #usn #portsmouthnavalshipyard #baltimore #baltimoreharbor #baltimoremd #baltimoremaryland #maryland #museumship #museumships #wwii #wwiisubmarine #submarines #pacificfleet (at USS Torsk (SS-423)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6-1IFg2fk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ushte7qcw7d3
