Time for a fairly easy submarine question. In the history of submarine warfare there has been only one occasion when a submarine has sunk an enemy submarine while both were underwater. Who? When? and Where ?

The Capponi wasn't submerged when she was sunk. She was sunk while sailing on the surface of the water. Around 60 submarines were sunk by other submarines in WW2, in all except one case the submarine sunk was on the surface. | |

| Optio  | USS Gudgeon (SS-211) is the first U. S. submarine to sink an enemy submarine, the Japanese IJN I-173.on January 27, 1942.The Japanese submarine had just returned from a patrol which took her well into American water off the coast of California and Washington. So I would say Pacific Ocean near Japanese home islands (Kyushu?) |

| Can you hear me now?  | You means like "U-571". That movie that have when a submarine has sunk an enemy submarine while both were underwater. Not sure, if the Americans did really hijacked the German submarine.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | I think the British were the ones who captured the enigma, where America helped was that we had "computers" that could go through thousands of combinations a day until it worked.
