If i remeber right their was 4 subs? in the harbor that day only 1 or 2 even had deck guns. and when the united states declare war on japan 2 subs went out and were almost sunk by american destoryer escorts only one of them even made a torpedo run. Funny thing is one of the captions on one of the boats eventully went to a insane aslyum.

Tautog was stationed in Milwaukee with Cobia for awhile. On February 20, 1960 both subs were torn from their moorings during a winter storm. I think there are still a few dents in Cobia from that storm! Here is a photo of Cobia and Tuatog in Milwaukee. We actually have Tuatug's periscope on disaplay in the museum.

Kind of off topic but an interesting tidbit. :)

There were several subs at sea at this time...but those 4 were the only ones at Pearl during the attack.
