Turning her attention to the second target, which was still headed for her, "Wahoo" fired two bow tubes "down the throat" to stop him. The second torpedo hit, but the target kept coming and forced the submarine to turn hard left at full speed to avoid being rammed. There followed so many explosions that it was hard to tell what was happening. Returning to periscope depth, "Wahoo" observed "Fukuei Maru" had sunk; the second target was still moving, evidently with steering trouble; and "Buyo Maru" was stopped but still afloat.
