A couple of things. Are her diesels 3700hp apiece, or for both combined? And Blair's Silent Victory makes no mention of I-351, let alone her being sunk by Bluefish, & you can bet, if Forbes had done it, Blair would say so; rather, he gives Forbes a zero (p.976). I'm betting JANAC got it wrong again. TREKphilerany time you're ready, Uhura 05:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Both diesels combined are 3700 hp. I think I-351 was indeed sunk by the the Bluefish, here is a reliable source which confirms it: [1]. dr. Loosmark 20:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Sad to say, but this doesn't actually say anything about her fate, just "one completed". Stille (p.37) does say "torpedoed by U.S. submarine", but doesn't name her, I suspect based on JANAC, which attributed sinkings at times to subs which were, in fact, nowhere around.

Sorry, somehow I copied the wrong link, here is the correct one [2]. Dr. Loosmark 22:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Thx. I do find it very strange Blair doesn't mention it, when he does every other I-boat the Sub Force sank. I-351 would be quite a coup... And I'd be very interested in knowing if combinedfleet isn't relying on JANAC. TREKphilerany time you're ready, Uhura 23:38, 8 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Maybe you can try asking about the source in the forum [3], the section "TROM & Posts". Dr. Loosmark 23:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Less than felicitous phrasing "This class of submarines was ordered under the 5th..." perhaps "The I-351 submarine class..."?
"...as well as a 600-shaft-horsepower (447 kW) electric motors." Subject-verb agreement here - is is "a motor" or more than one motor?
"They had a range of 13,000 nmi (24,000 km; 15,000 mi) at 14 knots..." need to type out the full word on first usage of an abbreviation (nmi)
"...but they were unavailable when the submarines were under construction..." I think you mean "these" in place of "they"
"and either sixty 550-pound (250 kg) bombs or 30 bombs and 15 aircraft torpedoes." Needs to be "60" to fit with the other numbers written with numerals.
Your usual good work. Just a couple of spots where the writing could use a bit of polish. I took the liberty of doing a few small copyedits myself, where I could be sure that I wouldn't mess up things.
I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
