I-19 in Fiction
I-19 was the number of the submarine, commanded by Toshiro Mifune, in the Steven Spielberg movie, 1941. However, I-19 was off the Southern California coast in late 1941, along with a wolf pack of three other IJN submarines. On 25 December 1941, I-19 torpedoed the US freighter Absaroka off of Point Fermin, and the Asaroka was subsequently towed to and beached near Fort MacArthur.

“The beginning of human knowledge is through the senses, and the fiction writer begins where human perception begins. He appeals through the senses, and you cannot appeal to the senses with abstractions.”
