The Submarine Captain Who Hunted Destroyers Like Prey — 4 Sunk in 4 Days (USS Harder)

Why Commander Samuel Dealey hunted Japanese destroyers like prey during WW2 — and sank four in four days. This World War 2 story reveals how USS Harder’s aggressive “down the throat” attacks turned the Pacific’s deadliest sub-hunters into victims. June 6, 1944. Off Tawi Tawi, three Japanese destroyers closed in on Harder after a patrol plane spotted a periscope wake 15 miles north of the anchorage. Doctrine said dive deep, go silent, and escape. Dealey ordered the opposite: flank speed, bow-on — straight into the lead destroyer. Every manual called it suicide. Other submarine captains called it reckless. They were all wrong. What Dealey proved in those next 96 seconds wasn’t about firepower — it was about forcing hesitation. Destroyer captains expected submarines to run. When Harder charged instead, their attack rhythm broke just long enough for torpedoes to hit. By June 9, Harder had sunk four destroyers in four days, surviving repeated depth-charge hunts, lights-out shockwaves, and near-bracketing explosions that would’ve ended most patrols. And the impact went beyond the sinkings. The panic created off Tawi Tawi helped push Japan’s Mobile Fleet to leave its anchorage early — shifting the timing that led into the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Dealey never knew what he’d triggered. He only knew the ocean was turning into a trap… and he was running out of fuel. This is the hidden chapter of the Pacific submarine war — where the most dangerous enemy wasn’t a battleship. It was the destroyer hunting you. 🔔 Subscribe for more untold WW2 stories: / @WWIIHiddenChapters 👍 Like if you learned something new 💬 Comment: Which WW2 tactic or forgotten mission should we cover next? #worldwar2 #ww2 #wwii #ww2history #navalhistory #submarine #pacificwar ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is entertainment storytelling based on WW2 events from internet sources and public references.
