Summary
[edit]DescriptionJapanese destroyer under attack off Truk in February 1944.jpg | A Japanese destroyer under attack near Truk Lagoon, as seen from U.S. Navy Grumman TBF Avenger of Torpedo Squadron Six (VT-6) from USS Intrepid (CV-11) on 18 February 1944. This could be the destroyer Oite. On 16 February, Oite was escorting the damaged cruiser Agano to Japan from Truk when Agano was torpedoed and sunk by the U.S. Navy submarine USS Skate (SS-305). Oite rescued 523 of Agano´s crew and turned back towards Truk. However, just as Oite was entering Truk Lagoon on 18 February, the Japanese base was struck by United States Navy aircraft in Operation Hailstone. Oite was torpedoed, broke in half and sank almost immediately with loss of 172 of 192 crewmen and all 523 survivors of Agano. |
