The Pacific Ocean was dark and quiet that night. Only the sound of waves hitting the USS Archerfish broke the silence.

Inside the submarine’s metal structure, Captain Joseph F. Enright stood at the periscope, eyes scanning the horizon. He was experienced and sure of himself, but his mind was filled with doubt, haunted by a past failure that nearly ended his career.

And then he saw it: a faint shape in the distance, a large unknown enemy ship on the water.

Just before midnight on November 28, 1944, the USS Archerfish roared to life, starting its chase about a hundred miles south of Tokyo Bay.

The Captain sent an urgent message to Pearl Harbor, reading: [QUOTE]

"I am pursuing a large aircraft carrier."
