USS
GROWLER
SS-215
USS Growler’s first
war patrol began 29 June 1942. Five days later she
sought three destroyers and closed them submerged. She fired at all three. Her torpedoes struck
the first two targets amidships putting them out of
action, and hit the third in the bow but not before
that target had launched two torpedoes at Growler. As the Japanese torpedoes "swished down each side",
Growler dived deep, and no depth charges followed. The Japanese destroyer Arare was sunk, and the other
two Kasumi and Shiranui were severely damaged.
People called her
valiant action something to growl about.
USS Growler
earned eight battle stars for her WWII service.
