May 3rd 1944
Having left Pearl and out to sea, we headed for the Philippines for the third time. This time we would be part of a wolfpack and hopefully encounter a few convoys and make up for the last patrol in the same waters.
May 14th 1944
Reached patrol area and have not had any contact with the enemy or our own wolfpack.
June 18th 1944
Over a month has passed and there has been absolutely nothing to report apart from a few dead birds being cleared from one of the grills. Just after sundown we reached the midway point of our last patrol area and immediately a light was spotted on the horizon, and whilst the Green Bay was slotted into position at medium range, the escorted ship was identified as: the Peking Maru (1100t). I got the XO to plot a solution for a surfaced attack with a full spread from the bow tubes. Six fish were fired from the bow tubes; three at the cargo ship and three at its escort. Only one MK 14 hit the escort, but that was enough. All three hit the Peking Maru, which had a hole ripped into its port side and then began to sink quickly. The escort took longer to sink by its stern. There was no detection and therefore we slipped away in the dead of the night and I plotted a course for home, after having endured the worst patrol we have undertaken thus far. We never did get contact via the wolfpack.
June 27th 1944
Arrived back at Pearl Harbor, after traversing the rest of the Tropic of Cancer with no contact on our way back to the Hawaiian Islands. Refit will be completed during July.
USS Green Bay will be ready for the August patrol
