		At approximately 31 minutes past 1 p.m., Japanese submarine I-168 fired four torpedoes in the direction of the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, which at that time was steaming in close proximity to Hammann.
		Realizing the giant flattop was in immediate danger, Hammann began firing its five-inch guns at the “water tracks” of the deadly missiles in hopes of exploding one or several before they had a chance to do nasty work.
		As the Hammann plunged to its death in very deep water, depth charges (explosives used in anti-submarine warfare) began exploding beneath hundreds of stunned sailors fighting for their lives on the ocean's surface.
