Silent Service - Captains
History Channel

On December 10th John Wilkes formally assumed command of Submarines Asiatic Fleet. Both Withers and Wilkes were scathing in their reports on sub commanders who consistently returned to base with zero results. This was due in the main to the total ineffectiveness of the Mk 14 torpedo and their insistence on sub commander using an equally ineffective magnetic detonator. Neither worked but Withers and Wilkes refused to accept the evidence before their eyes, blaming it all on bad training and commanders. Many early US Submarine captains were relieved and replaced. For some reason all attacks were ordered to be carried out underwater and not using periscopes!!   Patrol after patrol came home empty handed, or with claims that never happened
