It's flare. Not a crime.

@DFWTF Saratoga was on the West Coast Training. Lexington and Enterprise were returning from ferrying USMC planes to Wake and Midway Islands.

@lord_crush777 what do you mean what is the outcome? You've already presented what the outcome is.

@hs5312 going bigger is not better. You have diminishing returns in usefulness.

@IanLthestig !. No. 2. Torpedoes of the time were spar torpedoes. A bomb on a long stick. You had to ram another ship with it. Motorized torpedoes would have to wait a few years.....

@jamesb4789 there is some evidence to suggest that it was a midget sub that attacked the West Virginia.

@mattmopar440 you must look at some strange movies? Off hand other than Matthew McConaughey, I can't think of many movies of Atlantic fleet sub operations. But yes they were there. Electric boat built most of them in Connecticut and still do. And the submarine school is in New London, CT. So most operations in the Atlantic would have been training.

@neonclear8500 I've never understood the anti officer bias? The the idea and ncos have some sort of great superiority and skill or leadership is a myth. And while many are great in their technical rating, tactical command is generally not their forte.

@gregorywright4918 the splashes are consistent with the submarines props breaking the surface after firing. And wave reflections off the ship are clearly in line with a sub in that zone.

@neonclear8500 unfortunately, you're thinking at the platoon squad level. Being a sergeant major does not mean you should be running a battalion. Nor does being a chief petty officer mean you should be running a destroyer.

@neonclear8500 I don't think nationality makes a difference.

@gregorywright4918 you overestimate the threat of aerial torpedoes to the sub. As for the targeting? It's a target of opportunity. Their mission is separate from the aerial attack anyway. And despite your dismissal of the available evidence; it all points to being more likely than unlikely.
