...torpedoed in 1945 July 30th, by Commander Mochitsura Hashimoto. 12:05 till 12:10 on that morning 1196 crew members went into the Pacific Ocean. 317 survived. Captain Charles McVay lll was court martialed and found guilty of negligence. At his trial was the commander of I-58, testifying for the Navy.
