The sinking of the Japanese battleship on October 12.

Most likely, we are talking about the battleship Musashi, which was sunk by American submarines in October 1944.

Since in October 1944, US forces landed in the Philippines, the defense of Japan was under threat, the success of the military operation of the United States could mean the loss of important sources of raw materials, so the command of the Japanese army drew up a plan with the loud name “Victory”.

Musashi took part in it. The battle itself took place in the Sibuyan Sea, US carrier-based aircraft attacked Musashi, who had already received about three torpedo hits from submarines. The first and second turbine compartments were taken out of service and the ship was moving at a speed of only 15 knots. At this speed, he became an easy target and received a number of hits. The command was ordered to be washed ashore, but the ship turned over and went to the bottom.
