Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

Three destroyer escorts dropped several depth charge patterns around the berths for cruisers USS Mobile, USS Biloxi, and USS Santa Fe. The second Kaiten was destroyed and destroyer escort USS Rall was officially credited with sinking it.
