[Stonewall Jackson]

I've often wondered about that. The submarines Tullibee and Tang were both lost to circular runs of their Mark 18 torpedoes and the Wahoo was carrying a number of these torpedoes.

[blau993]

Admiral Kane wrote a book about the Wahoo that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in submarines at war (he also wrote one about the Tang, which is an equally good read). In it he devotes a final chapter, which he freely acknowledges is informed speculation, about the Wahoo's last patrol. He theorizes that the Wahoo was crippled by just such a circular run, had to run the Strait on the surface, was spotted, and was sunk.
