October 1942, after completing a mission in the USS Gato i was offered a new sub so i took it and was given the USS Balao. I was even flown to the states to pick it up in San Fransico, i'm on my way to Pearl now with orders to deploy to Honshu. I was completly shocked by this one because according to the Wiki the Boat was launched in October 1942, but was not even commissioned until 4 February 1943.
