Didn't expect a heart warming episode. One of the best of the series.

BigMike Przysiecki my ship USS Blakely was with the Gato on Unitas cruise in 1982, We ran liberty boats for the Gato when we were in port together

A hunch, or intuition, if you wish, is always recognized as command prerogative. The militaries of most countries recognize that hunches usually tend to play out and get results. The reason this happens is the subconscious hears and sees everything. Even things that we don't realize consciously. When he was looking at that map, something in his subconscious said, go this way. It had taken in all of the information, even some information that he didn't consciously realize was important and correlated it and the answer was to go in this direction which didn't make sense since some of the information (things he had missed or dismissed) was not being plugged into the equation.

Well said 👍👍👍. If you're familiar with the Myers-Briggs Personality Tests / types, you'll see that 'intuition' is a HUGE part of the INFJ & INFP personality types. I myself, am an INFJ-t type. I thought your explanation was right on target. This is EXACTLY how intuitives, like myself, function. 😉

@@scottmcintosh4397 I'm am ESTP. I still get flashes of intuition, and i don't ignore them. But I'm better at perceptual thinking than I am with intuitive thinking. And I try to get all the information I can before issuing a judgement.

The mysterious 2 torpedos were never full explained...the movie "Run Silent, Run Deep" was also unable to determine where the enemy sub was or even if it was a sub...the Gato probably inspired Captain Beach who wrote the movie's script. The radar detected a japanese sub 6500 yards away....seems like the Navy knew something... perhaps midget japanese subs.

If a downed airman it 56 miles south east of the sub you do not set a course of 200. It should be closer to 135 degrees

Cart Conrad, "one of the best generations" yes, but Tom Brokaw is wrong, it wasn't the greatest generation, that title belongs to the Revolutionary generation. Mike Lamb, you make me sick. Your nazi apologetic is disgusting. While it is true that Hitler was no worse than Stalin, the same can not be said of Churchill or Roosevelt, and I dispise FDR. Take your love for nazis and...

It really wasn't an Outrage considering, a Japanese Pilot who landed his Plane on an Island near Oahu was aided by Japanese Citizens , they tried to Kill People in the Town to prevent them from detaining the Pilot if they found out about the Pearl Harbor Attack. @@kellyrayburn4093
