A crippling Japanese attack put the boat and her crew in peril, leaving them to fight for their sub and their lives.

Note: If anyone has been on any of the remaining WW2 subs as museum ships it's hard to believe how 80 people could fit & function into such a small space, nonetheless deal with a depth-charge attack over hours..

Haven't read the article yet, but while stationed in Philly yrs ago, I did have the opportunity to go aboard the museum sub USS Becuna (SS-319). Yep, tiny and claustrophobic. Tough living conditions, and why they possibly were known as "pig boats".

Also went aboard the WW1 era Cruiser USS Olympia a few times, berthed alongside the Becuna.
