The USS Cavalla- a WWII era submarine, commissioned in 1944 sank the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku (which participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor) near the Philippines on its maiden voyage that year. It's now berthed in Galveston Texas and open for public tours.

That's right, the Shokaku. Have you read the analysis of her sinking on the Nihon Kaigun website?

During WW II, while on patrol, the USS Cavala sank one of the aircraft carriers that took part in the December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor attack.
