Antietam (CVS 36) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 89 text:

If the aircraft can surprise the sub while it is surfaced they can attack with their rockets and sink him before he has a chance to dive. But if the sub is submerged, the delivery of an effective attack against him demands a degree of procedural teamwork required in few other naval operations. The Destroyers move in on the sub and through their cumulative efforts provide mutual support and execute a rapid series of attacks. Unless the sub is destroyed by a single attack, the De- stroyers persist in their efforts until de- struction is accomplished. A prime point of vulnerability in the sub is that even- tually it must surface. Through the ex- ercise of persistence, contact can be held and the sub eventually destroyed. lx 1-da...-nuibuza-1 vi'
