潜水艦に雷撃されて沈没した初めての日本駆逐艦



10月17日に連合軍側のDMS Hopkins、10月20日に日本のxAK Kyokusei Maruが沈んでからの3週間は、潜水艦による艦船の沈没は両軍ともにありませんでした。しかし、昨日、今日と潜水艦による被害が報告されています。
昭和17年11月11日には、オーストラリア南東沿岸でSS RO-61がオーストラリアのxAKL Mulcra(Coastal Cargo Class)を沈めました。VP1で1050トンしかない船ですから、日本でいえばStd-E Cargo)875トンに相当するでしょうか。連合軍にとっては痛くも痒くもないでしょう。この日はSS Blackfishがラバウル近海でASW patrolをしている日本の駆逐艦を2回雷撃しました。2回とも命中でしたが、2回とも不発で命拾い
11月12日にはマラッカ海峡でASW patrolをしていたDD Asagumo(Asashio Class)が SS KXVIIIに雷撃されて沈められてしまいました。前日のSS Blackfishの雷撃だけでなく、これまで何度も命中不発に助けられてきた日本の駆逐艦ですが、オランダの潜水艦には魚雷不発問題がないので、この有様です。駆逐艦の沈没はチッタゴン艦砲射撃で触雷したDD Hamakazeが昭和17年10月1日に沈没して以来で、開戦後12隻目のDD喪失になります。DDをASW patrolにあてていますが、Type 2 DC装備の艦がまだ少なく、装備している艦でもなかなか連合軍のSSに被害を与えられないのが歯がゆいところです。
