The sub that was attacked by that IJN destroyer was the USS Nautilus, and Richard H O’Kane was aboard that boat for the battle. They fired their torps and missed, but they caused quite the fright to the Japanese, and the destroyer spent a lot of depth charges trying to sink her.

That destroyer was the IJN Arashi.

Richard O’Kane later went on to be the XO on the Wahoo, and sank a lot of Japanese ships. Later, O’Kane was given command of his own boat, the Tang, where he sank even more.

So many destinies crossed paths at Midway.
