The Coordinates Had Been Wrong

The Japanese torpedo bomber Nakajima B5N had deployed a 500-pound bomb onto a sub in the waters. According to the report, the device struck the vessel to the rear of its conning tower. After that, the craft was blown up and sunk right away. It did not seem like there were survivors. In November 2019, Yutaka Iwasaki talked to the New York Times about what he saw in the wartime files. “In that radio record, there [are] a longitude and a latitude of the attack, very clearly.” It is shocking that the coordinates led to a site that was over a hundred miles away from the one assumed by the U.S. Navy since 1949.
