Yes we shot first.

We shot a hostile submarine that was in our waters seeking to sink our ships.

You know what is the next question, was it really in our water or the international water?

[plain talk]

The sentence "“It’s the shot that started World War II between the Americans and the Japanese,” is misleading. This implies that this shot started the war and that if we did not sink this sub, the war wouldn't have started. Sloppy editing.
