This is almost as bad as Congressman Andrew May’s colossal blunder back in 1943. During a press conference, he revealed that many US submarines were surviving because the Japanese were setting their depth charges too shallow. Admiral Lockwood, COMSUBPAC, later estimated that this blunder cost the US ten submarines and eight hundred men.
