Afloat

Submarine. At Midway she was the boat Arashi stopped to hunt. When that destroyer hurried back toward the carriers, her wake led the American dive bombers to the fleet. Nautilus did not sink a ship there.

On 4 June 1942 she got in among the Japanese carriers and was depth-charged by Arashi. Arashi then raced back, and Enterprise's dive bombers followed that wake. Nautilus survived the war.
