 The sub put two deadly torpedoes into the U. S. destroyer Hammann which was eScortlng the York town The Hammann sank shortly after it was hit.
 The condition of the Yorktown became critical and early June 7th the Yorktown capszed and sank as result of the cumulative damage from aircraft bombs and topedoes the 4th and sub torpedoes the 6th Before the end came the Navy said the sub which de- lVered the fatal attack hunted down by American destroyers, the Yorktowns escort and repeatedly at tackled throughout the day and possibly sunk.
