On June 9, 1945, torpedoes from nine American submarines - 'The Hellcats' - were launched at dozens of Japanese freighters, paralyzing maritime operations between Japan and Korea. Each U.S. sub was equipped with newly designed mine-detectors and Mark-18s -- electronic torpedoes that left no traceable wakes or fume exhausts. Operation Barney continued for 15 days and proved a crucial breakthrough in the war, with U.S. submarines sinking 28 Japanese ships totaling some 70,000 tons. Hellcats of the Sea is a riveting account of the planning and events of those 15 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51786172236064,"sku":"NEW0359057098","price":37.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61LVdHWwMnL.jpg?v=1780628929","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/hellcats-of-the-sea-operation-barney-and-the-mission-to-the-sea-of-japan-0359057098","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
