That's a legitimate concern given the fluid nature of wikipedia. I looked it up in a book first..but was feeling too lazy to transcribe all the details so I just googled USS Swordfish and got the wikipedia entry. I'm still not sure what the original poster was after. As noted already first kill could still mean the Japanese plane shot down by the crew of the Tautog on December 7th while still moored at the pier.
