"The bow of the submarine was flung out of the sea. We saw almost half of the craft. Then it fell back but only to be caught by a second series of depth charges and again the bow was thrown up.
This time the stern was submerged and the bow stayed up. The submarine was caught there, at an angle of sixty or seventy degrees just for an instant. Then she slid down into the sea."
Between the 10th, at least one submarine was sunk at sea and the I-70 was the only one not to return. This must be the sunken submarine.
Also, one has to wonder that if it was assigned to watch south of Oahu, why was it north of it and on the surface?

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
