The LARGEST Warship Sinking In HISTORY By A Submarine

Discover the incredible true story of USS Archerfish and Commander Joseph Enright's remarkable redemption in World War Two. On November 29, 1944, this American submarine accomplished what remains the greatest submarine victory in naval history by sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano, the largest warship ever destroyed by a submarine. Shinano was a massive 72,000-ton supercarrier, originally built as a Yamato-class battleship and secretly converted after the Battle of Midway. Commissioned just ten days before her loss, she departed Yokosuka Naval Base for Kure with an inexperienced crew and incomplete watertight systems. Commander Enright, who had previously requested relief from command after missing carrier Shokaku aboard USS Dace, received a second chance with Archerfish. After a six-hour surface chase through dangerous waters near Tokyo Bay, Enright positioned his submarine for a perfect attack, firing six torpedoes at 1,400 yards range with only four hits needed to doom the enormous carrier. This documentary explores the tactical decisions, technical details, and human drama behind one of World War Two's most significant naval engagements. Learn how persistence, precision shooting, and strategic thinking enabled a 1,500-ton submarine to sink a carrier three times larger, forever changing submarine warfare doctrine. The record stands 80 years later, with Shinano remaining the largest warship ever sunk by any submarine in history.
