		Other obsolete types include radar-picket submarines, such as USS ´´Triton´´; specialized mine-layers; and those which carried attack seaplanes, such as the Japanese ´´I-400´´-class.
		The losses of the ´´USS Tang´´ and the ´´USS Tullibee´´ in 1944 resulted from self-inflicted hits by Mark 18 torpedoes fired from their stern tubes (which hit the submarines amidships), and the ´´USS Wahoo´´ may have been severely crippled by a circular hit on her bow before being bombed by aircraft.
		On February 18, 1864 ´´Hunley´´ sank USS ´´Housatonic´´ off the Charleston Harbor, the first time a submarine successfully sank another ship, though she sank in the same engagement shortly after signaling her success.
