Can't have been low batteries as it is the diesels engines that drive the boat down. Batteries don't really kick in until you are under.

I dont think I was commanding a gato, neither was it the salmon, it had a very large conningtower and only one AA gun
That describes every early US submarine with the exception of the S-Boat. What port did you set out from?

Then you likely have (or had) a Gar or Tambor class boat. Fleet boats not too different from the Gato.

I remember now, it was the Tambor, I also hit my boat up against some rocks while planting the people in japan, so that might have had something to do with it.
