For six decades, the sunken sub?s location remained a mystery until accidentally discovered in 2002. First Shot chronicles the stories of the recent discovery and the naval engagement sixty-four years ago, exploring one of the great what-if questions in our nation?s history: If the warning signs had been heeded, would the outcome of the Japanese air attack have been different?
