Looks like it got too close to a ships propeller as it was diving. Maybe the Naval version of tailgating? :smallsmile:

Close encounter with a ship at low depth. The same thing happened to HMS Tally-Ho while she was on the surface and a Japanese escort ship passed very close by.

Fascinating Filipe. Do you have any information about when and where it happened? Or better yet, the type of Japanese escort vessel it was? :smallsmile:

U 35 in collision with Graf Spee, June 1938.

PS: to make it harder, should probably name the photo something unrelated to the incident ;)

Hello Bob,

This happened on the 24th of February 1944 when Tally-Ho was stalking a Japanese convoy off the Malayan coast. Visibility was very poor and she met a Japanese escort on the surface too close by for the submarine to dive and for the escort to ram. The escort, apparently, was IJN torpedo-boat Kari. They met head on and glanced against each other having the Japanese torpedo-boat propellers knifed the submarine saddle tanks.

I believe the Japanese destroyer lost all the blades on the offending propeller down to the hub, pieces of the bronze propeller blades was found inside the ripped open steel saddle tank.

ACTUALLY...IT WOULD BE REALLY SUPER NICER IF YOU WOULD GO BACK AND READ POSTS A SECOND TIME BEFORE YOU JUMP THE GUN AND SUGGEST A MEMBER IS MAKING A RACIST STATEMENT....YOU WILL DISCOVER IT SAYS "ITALIAN CRUISE SHIP" ..NOT ITALIAN CAPTAIN..AND YES THE SHIP IN QUESTION IS ITALIAN REGISTERED. NOW...UNLESS YOU ALSO OBJECT TO REFERRING TO THE NATIONALITY OF A SHIP AS OFFENSIVE....
TAKE A CHILL PILL :Tirade:

A RACIST WIKIPEDIA DESCRIPTION OF THE SHIPS ITALIAN REGISTRY CAN BE VIEWED HERE...

No need to fullcaps and bold everything - just a simple misinterpretation of the English language structure. Now if only it could be done like math with brackets - then the confusion would disappear.

Italian (Cruise ship captain)
vs.
(Italian cruise ship) captain.

Sorry Timmy .. (and I do understand your position as an excellent moderator) but ....politically correct over-pandering to the hyper-sensitive has never been my style..... it only leads us further down that path to a future where it will be impossible to say or do anything for fear of offending someone, somewhere.

Now...to avoid further drama on the site, I shall retire and wish the best of everything to you and all my other good friends on the site. :wave_1:

p.s. ...while using all caps and bold face were intentional, I did fight the urge to also go with all italics in red font . :heh:
