Action or operation[edit]

I categorised this article as an action because it was a mission by a single submarine that was sunk by another single submarine. This was a very small scale combat, and the "operation" part relates only to the codename and not to the scale of the combat. For definition of an action see the category page of Category:Military actions of World War II--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 15:11, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Intended route[edit]

I would be interested to know the route to Japan the submarine was intended to take? Was it to go under the arctic, north of Russia?--Hontogaichiban (talk) 02:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox[edit]

I am going to remove the infobox as it has now been used for the action part. Any problems with this? Pfifer11 (talk) 16:14, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
