   TIL submarines in WWII only had two confirmed submarine kills
   
   This is pretty incredible when you consider a US submarine crew is credited with destroying a train in 1945 (they were also the only Allied troops to attack the Japanese mainland) so submarines are only twice as effective against other submarines as they are against trains

     @sapphire@shortstacksran.ch Hard to do sub-on-sub attacks with WW2 era submarines and a lack of proper homing or wired torpedoes.

     @adiz @sapphire a battle between subs back then would be like seeing 2 blind person with spears trying to kill each other.
