Author Zenji Orita was a leading Japanese submarine captain who's exploits in World War II ranged over the entire Pacific. In 1944, Orita was at Ulithi Atoll when he launched the first "human torpedoes" called Kaiten's. Joseph D. Harrington was an author and retired Navy chief journalist. Among his several World War II books were: "Katein," "Rendezvous at Midway," "I-Boat Captain," and a posthumously published book," Yankee Samurai,"concerning the secret role of Nisei in America's Pacific victory. Here it is the complete story of the Japanese submarine campaign in World War II. In a meticulously detailed account, "I-Boat Captain" includes the true stories of how Japanese sub's sank the American carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) and in 1945, the cruiser USS Indianapolis (CA-35). In 1942, a small plane flew from an I-boat, dropping a bomb on the state of Oregon. Their submarines nearly turned the tide of the Pacific war three months after the battle of Midway. Read how Japanese subs helped evacuate Kiska Island, leaving the U.S. landing force to discover the enemy was gone. Illustrated with exclusive photographs never before published, "I-Boat Captain" brings the shocking truth about the Japanese efforts in World War II. Commander Orita tells his fascinating story. And reveals the story of individual submariners who, like Orita sacrificed everything for their Emperor and country. Lieutenant Commander Zenji Orita commanded the-177 from 6 September 1943 - 23 February 1944 I-177 was an Imperial Japanese Navy Kaidai-type cruiser submarine of the KD7 subclass commissioned in 1942. She served during World War II, patrolling off Australia, taking part in the New Guinea campaign, operating in the North Pacific, and participating in the Palau campaign before she was sunk by the destroyer escort USS Samuel S. Miles (DE-183) in 1944, with no survivors. I-177 had completed her reconnaissance of Ulithi and was on the surface returning to her patrol area off the Palaus when a U.S. Navy PBM Mariner flying boat of Patrol Bomber Squadron 16 (VPB-16) detected her on radar on the evening of 1 October 1944. As the aircraft approached, I-177 crash-dived, but not before the Mariner s crew identified her as a Japanese submarine. The Mariner dropped a Mark 24 FIDO acoustic homing torpedo which inflicted heavy damage on I-177. The Mariner then passed I-177 s position to a nearby hunter-killer group centered around the escort aircraft carrier USS Hoggatt Bay (CVE-75), which began a search for I-177. At 04:40, Samuel S. Miles s lookouts sighted I-177 on the surface and she steered toward I-177. I-177 crash-dived, but Samuel S. Miles gained sonar contact on her. Samuel S. Miles fired a salvo of 24 Hedgehog projectiles, and then a second salvo that sank I-177 at 07°48 N 133°28 E with the loss of all 101 men on board, about 12 nautical miles (14 miles) from where the PBM attacked her.
