United States Submarine Losses, World War II
Reissued with an Appendix of Axis Submarine Losses
Naval History Division, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, 1963
USS Wahoo (SS-238) at Pearl Harbor, soon after the end of her third war patrol, circa 7 February 1943. Her commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Dudley W. Morton, is on the open bridge, in right center. Officer standing at left appears to be the executive officer, Lieutenant Richard H. O'Kane. Note the broom lashed to the periscope head, indicating a clean sweep of enemy targets encountered; the pennant bearing the slogan "Shoot the sunza bitches"; and eight small flags, representing claimed sinkings of two Japanese warships and six merchant vessels. The forward radar mast, mounted in front of the periscope shears, has been censored out of this photograph. Wahoo was lost with all hands on 11 October 1943 during her seventh war patrol (80-G-35726).
