Experience the incredible true story of the USS England (DE-635) — the humble destroyer escort that became the most successful submarine hunter in naval history. In May 1944, across just 12 days, this single ship sank six Japanese submarines, an achievement no other warship has ever matched.
This gripping WWII documentary reveals how the revolutionary Hedgehog anti-submarine weapon, combined with U.S. codebreakers’ intercepted Japanese signals and exceptional crew discipline, turned a small escort vessel into a precision killing machine. Led by Lieutenant Commander Walton B. Pendleton, the USS England systematically wiped out Japan’s entire NA submarine patrol line — I-16, RO-106, RO-104, RO-116, RO-108, and RO-105 — crippling Japanese reconnaissance ahead of the Battle of the Philippine Sea.
Named after Ensign John C. England, who gave his life saving others at Pearl Harbor, the ship carried a legacy of sacrifice and courage that defined its crew’s spirit. Drawing from declassified naval records, survivor testimonies, and authentic combat logs, this historical deep dive explores how one destroyer escort — armed with innovation, intelligence, and sheer determination — changed the course of the Pacific War and secured a record still unbeaten in naval warfare.
