In this gripping historical video, discover how the USS England (DE-635) achieved the most remarkable anti-submarine warfare record in naval history by sinking six Japanese submarines in just 12 days during May 1944 in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Learn about the revolutionary Hedgehog anti-submarine mortar that gave American forces a decisive advantage, the critical role of U.S. codebreakers who intercepted Japanese naval communications, and the heroic story of Ensign John C. England who sacrificed his life at Pearl Harbor saving fellow sailors from the capsizing USS Oklahoma. This meticulously researched account reveals how a modest destroyer escort, through the combination of breakthrough technology, superior intelligence, and extraordinary crew training under Lieutenant Commander Walton B. Pendleton, systematically destroyed the entire Japanese NA submarine line (I-16, RO-106, RO-104, RO-116, RO-108, and RO-105), changing the course of the Pacific War and contributing to the American victory in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, while establishing a combat record that remains unmatched to this day in maritime military history.
