(The report claims a Japanese submarine was damaged by torpedoes fired by Lt. Cdr. Elton W. Grenfell. The truth was that Lt. Cdr. Grenfell, commanding officer of USS Gudgeon SS-211, sank the I-73 on Jan. 27, 1942. This was the first Japanese submarine sunk only by a U.S. vessel. Others had been sunk by aircraft. Gudgeon would also be sunk. The boat, under a new commander, sailed from Johnston Island on Apr. 7, 1944 and was never seen again. It is now believed that the boat was sunk on Apr. 18th by a Japanese air attack, but this has not been confirmed.) |
