Default U.S.S. Balao SS-285 Aug 2, 1943

Departing for our second patrol out of Midway we were tasked once again with delivering an agent deep into enemy territory.

C.O. Lcdr. Edward Steele
X.O. Lt. Irvin T. Ryan
C.O.B. CMM Theodore W. Hull

Delivery uneventful/successful.

We were directed to patrol sector 'abuse.' While still in the Yellow Sea radar reported a convoy headed directly for us. This made for a 'target of opportunity.' Time - 04:15/water depth - 150ft.



30 minutes of action:
