It Went Well For A While
In reality, nothing went wrong for a while. As a matter of fact, things looked all right for its next few missions. It surveyed Soviet ships in the Bering Sea between Alaska and Russia. The Stickleback also finished more patrolling duties before the crew got a break of six days. Things would have turned out differently had the rest of the conflict went on in the same way.

After Its Fourth Mission
On October 10th, the Stickleback finished its fourth mission. By then, it had tracked the movements of a total of 119 Soviet vessels. The vessel was not made to sneak around like this, of course. However, the Cold War and the Second World War were different animals in many ways. The Stickleback was about to learn just how different the two conflicts were on its fifth mission. This also turned out to be its last.
