[snip] The famed submarine was a powerful U.S. weapon during World War II. Named for a ferocious West Indian fish, the Batfish sank 15 Japanese vessels during the war, among them three submarines in just 76 hours. The latter accomplishment has not since been matched and U.S.S. Batfish to this day remains the most successful submarine killing sub in history [/snip]

This crew was well trained and capable!

I guess there was no ‘gender-integration’.

Maybe if so, they could have sunk the whole Jap fleet.
