Hum,

I have a book containing this picture that says it is of I58 , which sank the Indianapolis ( july '45 )

of course pictures never lie - only captions do ...

But I'd be curious to resolve which is correct.

My book in question is

Padfield, Peter, War Beneath the Sea, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., NYC, 1998

What is your source ?


Well for some reason I can't find my source atm...[:@]

I can tell you that the source did state that it was the I-58, and that the photo was taken in '46 when the sub was waiting to be scrapped after the war.

In no way was I saying that it didn't sink the Indie.

EDIT: Ah, kinda odd place for it: Japanese Torpedo Section
Yamato, IMO the best looking Battleship.
