In response to my comment about the historical record being in dispute about targeting lifeboats - Some authors have alleged that Japanese soldiers were specifically targeted by the Wahoo crew; others, such as the XO Richard O'Kane (who was there) stated that they were not in his book "Wahoo".  If targeting the life boats is in fact a war crime, then include a reference to the law and let the facts speak for themselves rather than speculate about the possible actions of a victorious post-war Japan.  12:34, 8 January 2007
