Talk:I-351-class submarine

Sayonara, anjin-san
A couple of things. Are her diesels 3700hp apiece, or for both combined? And Blair's Silent Victory makes no mention of I-351, let alone her being sunk by Bluefish, & you can bet, if Forbes had done it, Blair would say so; rather, he gives Forbes a zero (p.976). I'm betting JANAC got it wrong again. TREKphiler  any time you're ready, Uhura  05:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Both diesels combined are 3700 hp. I think I-351 was indeed sunk by the the Bluefish, here is a reliable source which confirms it: . dr. Loosmark 20:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Sad to say, but this doesn't actually say anything about her fate, just "one completed". Stille (p.37) does say "torpedoed by U.S. submarine", but doesn't name her, I suspect based on JANAC, which attributed sinkings at times to subs which were, in fact, nowhere around.

 * Sorry, somehow I copied the wrong link, here is the correct one . Dr. Loosmark 22:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thx. I do find it very strange Blair doesn't mention it, when he does every other I-boat the Sub Force sank. I-351 would be quite a coup... And I'd be very interested in knowing if combinedfleet isn't relying on JANAC.   TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  23:38, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe you can try asking about the source in the forum, the section "TROM & Posts". Dr. Loosmark 23:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Will give that a try. Thx.  TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  00:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
