To clarify, following that sixth patrol in the GAR, I went direct from that boat to the Balao, bypassing the GATO entirely. Another small surprise was that usually when offered a Balao class you have to pick it up at Mare Island/Treasure Island. Not so this time. It was delivered to me at Midway!

As expected... however, that date you got the Balao? As I mentioned previously with "the Balao availability at Midway in March of 1943", you got it in late 1942? - this is what we're trying to "fix"...
