I-19 conducted the most ‘successful’ torpedo attack in the history of naval warfare on that terrible day.
Well, from the point of view of the Imperial Japanese Navy, it was successful. Sunk a Carrier and a Destroyer and mission killed a Battleship putting it out of action for months.
I don't know about that. I-19 needed 3 torpedoes to sink Wasp.
On 19 June 1944, IJN Taihō was sunk by USS Albacore (SS-218) with a single torpedo.
