According to Japanese WWII Records Wahoo sunk at the Soya Strait.

A memorial was erected with the following inscription:

It is two meters high and made of polished granite.  A truncated gray
pyramid supports a burnt orange sphere representing the sun.  Between
the base of the sun and the top of the pyramid, one can look through a
gap to the ocean battle site. Inscription on the base (in English and
Japanese):

In memory of the Japanese ships and people sunken by USS Wahoo in sea of
Japan and the Sailors of USS Wahoo who were Sunken by the Japanese Naval
Aircraft and Ships in Soya Strait. Inscription on the accompanying
stainless steel plaque (English  and Japanese): On October 11, 1943, the
Japanese Navy sank the American Submarine Wahoo SS238 in a Five hour air
and sea attack. Wahoo was leaving the Sea of Japan after having sunk
several ships in a two week raid. When the Wahoo was lost it was the
highest scoring submarine in the US Navy. Eighty Americans sleep in the
Soya Strait 12 miles north-east
of here. Many Japanese sleep in the Sea of Japan from Wahoo attacks.
This monument was erected by the members of the Japanese Attack Group
and elatives of Americans lying in Wahoo. Old enemies met as brothers to
dedicate that our countries will have lasting peace and war will never
again destroy the friendship we now enjoy today. Also is the Wahoo
Emblem and the list of the 5 ships sunk by her.

Thank you for answer. Wahoo was apparently never found. No coordinates,
no messages,
nothing but silence. She wasn't the only dolphin that disappeared, but
became legendary.

Nothing to do with PWB.
Today most wrecks are found.
Did they found that seal too?
The reason I ask is I'm reading
about the US fiasco after Pearl.
During one year of campagne, not
one enemy ship was hit.

Odd question for TN? yep. but
TN got many old dogs with a
lot of knowing...
