Throughout history, 25th October has marked several significant moments of consequence. In 1944, the USS Tang became a tragic footnote in naval history when the American submarine sank after being struck by its own torpedo, despite being credited with sinking more enemy vessels than any other US submarine in the Second World War. Nearly three centuries earlier, in 1415, forces under Henry V of England achieved an unexpected victory against the numerically superior French cavalry at the Battle of Agincourt, a triumph that proved decisive in England's medieval campaigns across the Channel.
