On Christmas Day of 1942, the sub surfaced and caught four landing barges unaware. The Grayback sank all of them. Four days after that, an enemy vessel fired torpedoes at it, but the crew of the American vessel took on evasive action. At the start of the new year, the sub launched an attack on an Imperial Japanese Navy craft called I-18. While it managed to escape unscathed, the U.S.S. Fletcher later sank it with depth charges in the month after this incident. All 102 crewmen on board died.
