November 30, 1943: USS GOLET (SS 361) is commissioned in Manitowoc, WI. When GOLET departed Midway for her 2nd patrol on May 28, 1944 a door of silence closed behind her and Golet was never heard from again. Data from Japanese anti-submarine records indicated she was presumably the victim of a depth charging on June 14, 1944. The records mention the attack brought up corks, raft, debris, and a heavy pool of oil.

That's one (of many) I was not familiar with. Sad story, but war is a sad business, and some don't come home.

Thanks for sharing.
