• Gato-class submarine USS Silversides made a torpedo attack on Japanese army cargo ship Malay Maru off the southern coast of Kyushu, Japan. Silversides fired four torpedoes but only two launched while two ran hot in the tubes. The two that launched, hit and sank the Malay Maru while Silversides had to go deep because of a prompt counterattack by Japanese escorts. One torpedo was ejected fairly quickly but the other was hung up for over seven hours, throughout the entire depth charge attack. It was only after firing the tube while backing at high speed that the torpedo left the tube, almost two years to the day since Silversides was saved by a similar maneuver. ww2dbase [Silversides | Kyushu | DS]
