What's interesting is that the article said the sub had fired both it's weapons...I'm assuming they meant torpedoes. At that point, can we come to a different conclusion as to who fired first? Did the sub fire their weapons after we attacked them, or before?

Either that, or the crew didn't have any torpedoes, and they were planning on launching themselves out the tubes? They could have been the first Kamikazis of the war perhaps... now we will never know... ;0)
