What I need is to find my whiskey bottle before Lt. Commander Williams reports in again.

Don't be bringin that on my boat! If you do, it'll be stored away safely until we return to port...and that might be MONTHS.

We get underway later today. It'll be the first patrol for the USS Grenadier.

They only took one sub from me as I recall and gave me an old minesweeper. All I did was complain about torp failures, but they blamed it all on me.

I think I'm much safer remaining here on Matalava Island.

Ooops...sorry LCDR Williams.

XO, find Matalava Island on the charts...

We're going to pay Father Goose here a visit with the deck gun...

Radio Report from USS Grenadier

Somewhere North of the Phillipines

Well, the initial cruise to Luzon was uneventful. After a bit of patrolling, we made contact with a Japanese Merchant. We promptly sank it. We've been having issues with our batteries out here. Diesel fuel is good, but all these airplanes is killing our battery charging schedule. We're ordered to proceed to a patrol grid north of Okinawa. I will probably head back to port if this goes well. If not, I'm going to try and get into a Japanese port on the Mainland.

Lt. Commander Eugene Williams, USN

Attached is the picture that USS Grenadier took when it sank the Merchant

Reporting in to Pearl Harbor

Sank ~31500 tons of Japanese merchant shipping. Most of the ships were in the Japanese Home Waters. Luckily, these were lone ships and not accompanied by escorts. The crew isn't ready enough to take on a convoy. This was a good patrol though.
