Kaiten : Japan's secret manned suicide submarine and the first American ship it sank in WWII : the untold story

by Michael Mair and Joy Waldron (NY Berkley Caliber/and#8203;Berkley Books, 2014)

Kata Kunci

In November 1944

the U.S. Navy fleet lay at anchor in Ulithi Harbor

deep in the Pacific Ocean

when the oiler USS Mississinewa erupted in a ball of flames. Japan's secret weapon

the Kaiten--a manned suicide submarine--had succeeded in its first mission. The Kaiten was so secret that even Japanese naval commanders didn't know of its existence. And the Americans kept it secret as well. Embarrassed by the shocking surprise attack

the U.S. Navy refused to salvage or inspect the sunken Mighty Miss. Only decades later would the survivors understand what really happened at Ulithi

when a diving team located the wreck in 2001. In Kaiten

Michael Mair and Joy Waldron tell the full story from both sides

from the strategic importance of the USS Mississinewa to newly revealed secrets of the Kaiten development and training schools. U.S. Navy survivors recount their gripping experiences in the wake of the attack

as well as the harrowing recovery efforts that came later. Japanese pilots reveal their terrifying experiences training to die for their country and Emperor

never knowing when their moment of doom would come
