Excerpt: The I-68 in March 1934. I-168 was a Kaidai class submarine class submarine (KD6 Type) of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. At the Battle of Midway she sunk two American warships: the aircraft carrier Yorktown and the destroyer Hammann. At that time she was commanded by Lt. Cdr. Yahachi Tanabe. The sub was completed at the Kure Dock Yard on July 31, 1934. She was originally designated I-68. On November 23, 1941, I-68 and the rest of Submarine Squadron 3 were stationed near Hawai'i to perform reconnaissance duties in preparation for the impending attack on Pearl Harbor. Still on station near Hawai'i on December 13, I-68 was subjected to 21 separate depth charge attacks. The last attack damaged her batteries and flooded the aft torpedo tubes. After undergoing repairs at Kwajalein, I-68 conducted several uneventful patrols of the Pacific, before being redesignated I-168 on May 20, 1942 as part of a general sub re-numbering program undertaken by the IJN.I-168 was one of 13 submarines forming the Advance Expeditionary Force of the Japanese attack on Midway. She scouted south of Midway, and scouted Kure Island during her approach on 31 May 1942. The American aircraft carriers had passed through the area of the submarine patrol line before the submarines arrived on their patrol stations. I-168 spent the first 3 days of June observing Midway by periscope at Midway's southern horizon by day, and through binoculars at a range of five miles Books, , Kaidai-Class-Submarines~~Books-LLC, , , , , , , , , , General Books LLC<
