Trivia

Her abyssal form is assumed to be the Submarine Seerfish Water Demon.

General Information

• Named after the Wahoo fish.
• She was launched on the 14th of February 1942.
• Sunk on the 11th of October 1943.

Update History

• She was added on the 7th of March 2025 as Spring 2025 Event E2 reward.

Misc

• On 26 of January 1943, Wahoo and her crew were involved in a controversial incident where the survivors of the Japanese transport ship Buyo Maru were attacked in the water. Though there are conflicting accounts on who had engaged first, several survivors were gunned down in the water and on lifeboats. It was later revealed that many of the survivors were British Indian POWs. In total, 195 Indians and 87 Japanese died in the sinking of Buyo Maru and the subsequent aftermath. The shift in her facial expression and addition of several references to the incident are reflected accordingly.

• The kill markings and “SHOOT THE SUNZA BITCHES” printed on her scarf upon her remodel are references to the real life banners that were hung on the ship, with the quote banner placed specifically after the above mentioned incident on her third patrol.
• Similarly, the 20mm Oerlikon autocannon she carries upon her remodel is a direct reference to its use in the Buyo Maru incident.
• The positioning of the dive planes on her headpiece appears to be that of wolf ears, possibly as a play on her nickname of "The One-Submarine Wolf Pack".
