Most of us have read many accounts...Gato, Drum(when conning tower was cracked during intense depth charge attack, lead to a Balao class conning tower being placed when a Gato one was not available during refit period) , Halibut, Plunger(early war), Salmon (October 44). From what I have read, the BIllfish endured the worst one I have read about in the Makassar Strait on November 11, 1943.

I'm curious. In his book, does Keith give the names or classes of the Japanese ASW vessels involved in this November 11th 1943 attack on Billfish?
