释义 |
The Japanese submarine I-175 (I-75, until 20 May 1942) was a Kaidai type of cruiser submarine of the KD6B sub-class, built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the mid-1930s. Design and descriptionThe submarines of the KD6B sub-class were essentially repeats of the preceding KD6A sub-class. They displaced {{Convert|1785|LT|t|0|disp=flip}} surfaced and {{Convert|2564|LT|t|0|disp=flip}} submerged. The submarines were {{convert|105|m|ftin|sp=us}} long, had a beam of {{convert|8.2|m|ftin|sp=us}} and a draft of {{convert|4.57|m|ftin|sp=us}}. The boats had a diving depth of {{convert|75|m|ft|abbr=on}}[1] For surface running, the boats were powered by two {{convert|4500|bhp|lk=in|0|adj=on}} diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a {{convert|900|hp|0|adj=on}} electric motor. They could reach {{convert|23|kn|lk=in}} on the surface and {{convert|8|kn}} underwater.[2] On the surface, the KD3Bs had a range of {{convert|10000|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|16|kn}}; submerged, they had a range of {{convert|65|nmi|abbr=on}} at {{convert|3|kn}}.[3] The boats were armed with six internal {{convert|53.3|cm|in|1|abbr=on|sp=us}} torpedo tubes, four in the bow and two in the stern. They carried a total of 14 torpedoes. They were also armed with one {{convert|120|mm|in|abbr=on}} deck gun for combat on the surface and two {{convert|13.2|mm|in|abbr=on}} anti-aircraft machineguns.[3] CareerI-175 participated in the Attack on Pearl Harbor and sank the 3,252-ton American merchant Manini on 17 December 1941, 180 miles south of Hawaii. In July 1942 she operated off the eastern coast of Australia and sank the French merchant vessel Cagou, the Australian trawler Dureenbee and damaged the Australian merchant vessels Allara and Murada. I-175 was depth charged by HMAS Cairns on 26 July 1942 and evaded destruction. On 12 August, the submarine was damaged by aircraft from USS Enterprise and needed repairs at Rabaul. I-175 was damaged in a collision with the oiler Nisshin Maru on 20 November 1942 at Truk and run aground to prevent from sinking. The submarine required repairs at Yokosuka. I-175 is best known for sinking Escort carrier USS Liscome Bay on 24 November 1943, killing 54 officers and 648 enlisted men. I-175 was herself sunk 2 months later on 4 February 1944, during the Battle of Kwajalein, when she was attacked by destroyers USS Charrette and Fair. Fair fired several grenades from her Hedgehog anti-submarine mortar at the Japanese submarine and sank her with the entire crew at position ({{coord|6|48|N|168|8|E}}).
