Much the same story as the largest ship ever to be sunk by a sub . . . IJN Shinano. She was supposed to be the third Yamato-class battleship. But after our winged predecessors put paid to Kido Butai at Midway, she got converted into a support carrier - basically the three-way floating lovechild of an AIMD, fleet carrier, and AOE. 72,000-odd tons, but only holding about 50 aircraft in the air wing, with double that available to farm out to other ships. Weird. As the war closed in, the work still wasn't done, so the IJN leadership ordered her moved out of the way. Through Tokyo Bay, and right past USS Archerfish. Boom. Four torpedoes took down a battleship hull. The skipper of Archerfish set his torpedoes to run shallow enough that they missed most of the anti-torpedo armor . . . and the watertight doors weren't all installed yet.Of note, when hit by the torpedoes, the ship was sailing with watertight doors not fully closed.

I believe the correct term is "from the sea floor to space." We're not going to win wars with your limited vision.
