How One US Submarine Sank The LARGEST Warship Ever Built

November 29, 1944. The Pacific Ocean, 60 miles south of Tokyo Bay. A submarine captain with zero confirmed kills fires six torpedoes at a warship so secret that American intelligence says it doesn't exist. 72,000 tons. 872 feet long. Built on the hull of a Yamato-class super battleship. The largest aircraft carrier ever constructed. Japan was so confident in her armor that the crew didn't bother loading lifeboats. Eleven months earlier, this same captain had been stripped of his command for letting a Pearl Harbor carrier escape. He asked to be relieved. The Navy said yes. He spent six months behind a desk. Then a poker game changed everything. This is not a story about lucky shots or sitting ducks. This is a forensic audit of the greatest submarine kill in history — and the chain of failures, gambles, and split-second decisions that made it possible. 📊 Inside this documentary: • The submarine captain who requested his own relief — then got a second chance no one expected • Japan's secret 72,000-ton carrier that American intelligence didn't know existed • Why rushed construction and a single overheating bearing changed the course of a six-hour chase • The torpedo depth setting that violated Navy doctrine — and why it worked • A dive to 400 feet: beyond the submarine's rated test depth • The poker hand that put a failed officer back in command • What Captain Toshio Abe's fatal decision taught the U.S. Navy about damage control 📚 Sources: Enright's memoir Shinano!
