^ Welcome to the Large Ocean Liner club,
.
Food for thought Mr beanie.
The largest ship sunk by a US submarine During WWII was the IJN Shinano, starting her life as a member of the famous Yamato Class Battleships in May of 1940, she was redesigned as an Aircraft Carrier following the attacks on Pearl Harbour and the sinking of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse In December of 1941.
She grossed a whopping 69,151 metric tonnes, at 872 feet long with a beam of 119 feet, she was only slightly smaller in proportions to the largest American fleet carriers the Essex and Midway classes.
She was finally completed on November 19, 1944 and was sunk only 10 days later by 4 torpedo hits from the USS Archerfish on November 29.
In comparison, the Titanic was sunk by 1 iceberg, the Shinano by 4 torpedoes and a large ocean liner takes 14 torps, something doesn't sound right about this.
