USS SILVERSIDES (SS-236) 7th War Patrol - Sinking of JOHORE MARU
3 of 22
from  1942-1945 World War II/Asiatic-Pacific Theater  album
The Johore Maru is shown listing and burning on the afternoon of 24 October. The Silversides (SS-236) is circling her and trying to finish her off with fire from her deck guns. That caused additional fires but did not sink the maru. Wanting to chase the rest of the convoy, the Silversides pulled several hundred yards away and fired a single torpedo that broke the back of the Johore Maru and hastened her sinking.
