The above activity was for her fourth war patrol. Part of which is excerpted here: “During her fourth patrol, conducted in the Solomons 13 December 1942–4 February 1943, NAUTILUS rescued 26 adults and 3 children from Toep Harbor (31 December-1 January), then added the cargo ship YOSINOGAWA MARU to her kills and damaged a tanker, a freighter and a destroyer. On 4 February, she arrived at Brisbane, disembarked her passengers, and sailed for Pearl Harbor.”
