These subs were sunk off the Philippines after receiving intel from the broken Jap code. I read the whole story from an intel side that talked about the sub cordon the USN set up to catch these subs. Can’t remember the doc.

Thanks xone! Amazing achievement -- they relied on intel and navigation without anything like GPS.

My boat was the Greenfish SS-351. served on her 71 - 73. She was decommissioned in 1973 and sold to Brazil.

Paid her a visit and noticed she still had that diesel smell about her. Was sobering to see a boat you had served on being treated as a museum piece. :-)

Interesting. I guess that someone fibbed to me then. Wouldn’t be the first time. :)
