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.”

Early 1930’s photo of the Narwahl (SS-167). She was one of two crusier submarines inspired by the German U-cruisers of WW I, armed with 6in/53 guns. Her high freeboard reflects great reserve buoyancy.
