During Agano's Repairs
December 25, 1943. Agano was still in Truk Anchorage for repairs after taking two torpedo hits in November.Akashi-san, I've got some pretty bad flooding, but I can't find the leak. Could you take a look?Right on it!Hey...You ate some serious torpedo damage...How did you not notice?Ehhh!?Eh? That was the reason?Jeez. you look perfectly fine to me, so just head back to the mainland like that for now.
Akashi actually performed temporary repairs before sending Yamato off for Kure.Eh, why did Agano get different treatment!?W-we'll be leaving now, but...They made it back to Kure without incident.※By the way, the submarine which hit Yamato with a torpedo and the sub that later sunk Agano were one and the same.
USS Skate※Sources disagree on just how much the crew of the Yamato took note of the damage. It seems they were aware of the submarine attack, but the flooding was so severe they didn't make the connection, maybe?
