Submarine Attack #27

Admiral Maxie Haines tells an inquisitive reporter the story of how the submarine, the Moonfish, became a derelict. In December of 1941, the Japanese had attacked the sub stationed in the Philippines, with the skipper Lieutenant John Welles having to give his life for it. However the sub later runs aground on an island where the Japanese then gain control of it. There they repair it and take the Admiral and Engineering Officer away with them in the sub. However, in an unfamiliar sub, the Japanese are tricked into flooding it, trapping themselves inside while the two prisoners manage to escape.
