The U.S.S. Ward spotted and sank a Japanese midget submarine at the entrance of Pearl Harbor after being alerted to an intrusive presence by the U.S.S. Condor.
On the afternoon of 31 May 1942, three Japanese submarines appeared some thirteen kilometres out from Sydney Harbour. Each one launched a midget submarine, aimed at the American heavy cruiser, the USS Chicago, which was anchored in the harbour. One midget was detected at about 8:00pm, but was not precisely located until it became entangled in the net; the two-man crew of the submarine blew up their own vessel to avoid capture. When the second midget was detected after 10:00pm, a general alarm was sounded. The third midget was damaged by depth charges, and the crew also committed suicide to avoid capture. The second submarine then returned fire, hitting the naval depot ship HMAS Kuttabul. Nineteen Australian men and two British sailors on the Kuttabul were killed. The submarine is believed to have then returned to its mother ship, known as I-24.
The submarine is manned by the crew, and crew members are called submariners.
A Japanese midget submarine trying to sneak into Pearl Harbor, behind the US Navy Suppy ship 'Antares'. Actually the crew of the 'Antares' first spotted the submarine's periscope and signalled the US destroyer USS Ward. The USS Ward sank the midget (or mini-) submarine at 0635 hours, 7 December 1941 (local time).
The USN destroyer identified, fired upon, and sank a Japanese Mini-Submarine (Midget Sub).
I believe crew members off a British destroyer that had disabled a German submarine during WW2. The German crew was kept in isolation to insure the Germans did not learn that an enigma code machine had been captured by the British..........
The only incident I am aware of occurred outside the entrance to Pearl Harbor shortly before the air attack. AN IJN submarine was fired upon and sunk by an American destroyer, the USS Ward. The submarine, however, was a midget submarine with a small displacement and a small crew, and it would technically qualify as a craft instead of a ship.
They prepare meals for the crew
The M1 submarine was lost at sea in 1925. There is a list of the crew members lost that day online.
The number of men on a submarine varies depending on the type and class of the vessel. Generally, a U.S. Navy submarine can have a crew size ranging from about 70 to over 150 personnel. For example, a typical fast attack submarine like the Virginia-class usually has around 130 crew members, while a ballistic missile submarine like the Ohio-class can carry approximately 150 crew members.
