I wrote this based mainly on Fitzsimons. Blair said something about the sub attack; can somebody identify which one? (I'd say Nautilus, but not for certain.) Also, can somebody identify the BB that mauled Mogami? Also, tho I can't verify it, can somebody identify a Cpn R E Fleming, USN, who crashed his SBD into Mogami after the battle?

[edit] Almost got it

Fleming crashed his plane into Mikuma. Nautilus was the submarine that attacked the Kaga; Tambor was the submarine that was spotted that caused the cruisers to make the sudden turn.147.240.236.9 23:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some Corrections

Mogami wasn't hit by BB gunfire at Saguo Strait, only cruiser fire. From her TROM (Tabulated Record of Movement) at http://www.combinedfleet.com/mogami_t.htm:

At 0429, Vice Admiral Shima Kiyohide's (former CO of OI) northbound flagship NACHI collides with MOGAMI that is retiring southward. NACHI's bow is rent portside and as she pulls clear, she begins to flood. MOGAMI is holed starboard side above the waterline. Fires ignite five torpedoes that explode and disable her starboard engine.

Between 0530-0535, MOGAMI is hit by ten to twenty 6-inch and 8-inch shells from USS PORTLAND (CA-33), LOUISVILLE (CA-28) and DENVER (CL-58). At 0550, MOGAMI is attacked unsuccessfully by the PT-491 that misses her with two torpedoes. Destroyer AKEBONO is dispatched to escort her to Coron.

At 0830, MOGAMI's port engine breaks down. At 0902, while adrift, she is attacked by 17 TBM-1 Grumman "Avenger" torpedo-bombers from Task Group 77. 4. 1 and hit by two 500-lb. bombs.

At 1047, the MOGAMI is abandoned. At 1240, AKEBONO scuttles her with a single Type 93 "Long Lance" torpedo. At 1307, MOGAMI sinks at 9-40 N, 124-50 E. One hundred ninety-two crewmembers go down with her. AKEBONO rescues 700 survivors from MOGAMI.

[edit] Factual Error

"...also capable of 55° elevation, making Mogamis unique in having a Dual Purpose (DP) main battery..." At least one other class of cruisers - the Royal Navy Dido class cruisers - had a DP main battery. I have adjusted the article accordingly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Getztashida (talk • contribs) 16:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC).
