  1. Drachism of the Day 4:37 "Surviving a triple torpedo strike from a US submarine in WW2, by the grace of the Bureau of Ordnance."
    126
  2.  Caliban777  True about Congress/funding. But AFTER Pearl Harbor (when the torps were revealed to be defective), BuOrd insisted that nothing was wrong. Many sub commanders reported their observations/suspicions for MONTHS. And BuOrd dismissed those reports. "Silent Victory" by Clay Blair is a good read on the topic. Again, true about Congress/funding. You mention "ultimate responsibility". BuOrd failed their responsibility miserably. They were arrogant while our people were dying.
