Personal Memories
Memories When war with Japan began, the submarine readied for sea and was on her first war patrol from 8â??26 December 1941.
Seawolf hunted Japanese shipping off San Bernardino Strait. On 14 December, she fired a spread of torpedoes at Sanyo Maru in Port San Vicente. One torpedo hit, but did not explode.[5] She promptly underwent her first depth charge attack but suffered no damage.
