Submarine Bullhead Lost
http://www.subsowespac.org/world_war_ii_submarines/uss_bullhead_ss_332.shtml
Postwar analysis of enemy records indicated that the Bullhead was ambushed by a Japanese Army plane off Bali on August 6, 1945, at 0835 hours. The pilot of a Mitsubishi Ki-51 “Sonia” dropped two sixty-kilogram bombs on the submarine. The pilot claimed two direct hits and said he saw oil and bubbles coming from the area where the submarine had submerged. The Bullhead was the last U. S. submarine lost during World War II.
