 ........... The first Gato class submarine built was the Drum, which was commissioned on November 1, 1941, the only Gato class submarine to be in service before the attack on Pearl Harbor. She was the first of 73 Gato class subamrines ordered in 1940 in response to the realization that the US would probably become involved in the current war.

Dead on Elder. Just read up on the Drum last night.  To Gato or not to Gato in 41'.....that is the question!
