On this episode of Patrol Reports we return to one of the most remarkable moments in the entire Pacific submarine campaign. The date is November twenty first 1944. The place is the dark and storm driven waters of the Formosa Strait. The submarine USS Sealion is running on the surface through wind, rain, and near zero visibility while trying to track a Japanese formation that includes three battleships. Her skipper, Lieutenant Commander Eli Reich, carries the memory of the first Sealion that was lost in the opening days of the war, and the torpedoes in his forward tubes bear the names of the men who died there.

What follows is the only successful attack by an American submarine that sent an enemy battleship to the bottom. The destroyer Urakaze vanished in an instant. The battleship Kongo died in fire hours later. It is a story of risk, resolve, and a decisive strike that changed naval history.
