To answer the question in the first post, which I don't think was addressed, yes, US boats would sometimes rearm and refuel, often referred to as 'double barrelled' patrols.

Cool. A 'double barrelled' patrol. Thank you very much for the information. I have been wondering about this, and have been looking for info on this for a very long time. I find all those little details interesting.
Am I correct in thinking that ONI stands for Office of Navy Intelligence?
During the war the U.S. Navy did such a good job of keeping the success of our submarines quiet (so as to not tip off the Japaneses) that now 80 some years latter it has become difficult to find some information. Even some of the most innocuous information about what exactly went on, and how they did it can be a challenge to find.
