 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:


USS Barbel (SS-316) began her fourth and last war patrol 5 January 1945.

On 3 February she reported being attacked by enemy aircraft, and no word was heard from her after that date.  

Japanese records indicate that on 4 February 1945, a plane attacked a submarine in position 7° 49.5'N, 116° 47.5'E scoring one hit near the bridge with one of two bombs dropped.

It appears almost certain that this attack sank BARBEL. S
he was officially reported lost 16 February 1945.

Seaman 1st Class Adams was officially declared dead 19 February 1946.
