Here is the sequence taken direct from the Patrol Log:
1. Offered Balao boat on 12/3/42 after arriving in Brisbane from 4th successful patrol in GAR class boat (Gudgeon);
2. Magically appeared in Pearl Harbor on 12/3/42 to take possession of Balao;
3. Left Pearl Harbor on 12/23/42 for first patrol in Balao;
4. Completed Agent Insertion mission and arrived back in Pearl on 02/21/43;
5. Left on Second patrol in Balao from Pearl on 3/13/43
6. Arrived back in Pearl to accolades on 4/8/43.
7. Currently at Pearl Harbor, basking in the sun and drinking Mai Tai's on the beach at Waikiki awaiting next patrol assignment.
8. Holy Cow! Do you see that nurse? I think I'll go talk with her a while! We may be able to find something in common...
