It Managed To Get Out Of There
After it escaped the attentions of this Japanese vessel, the Grayback managed to sink its first ship. It was a cargo vessel that weighed 3,291 tons. The second patrol of the sub had been relatively uneventful. It ended upon docking at the Western Australian port of Fremantle. This would serve as its base for most of its service. The next two South China Sea patrols had been blighted by enemy patrol boats, difficult seas, and moonlit nights. Despite this, she was able to hit an Axis sub and merchant ships when it was out in the water. Its fifth tour started after it sailed from the Land Down Under on December 7th, 1942.
