Hah, I got the Drum too. I was working out of the Asiatic fleet in Java and they offered me this new boat. I had a horrible first mission with it, got jumped by aircraft and made unseaworthy before sinking anything. Got back to port and despite my otherwise great record I too was retired "along with my submarine class." Hey, I might have fired me too after that patrol but retiring the Gato class in '42? Hmm.
