Subs Sink DESTROYER,
Il Other Jap Vessels
In Supply Line Raids
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Raiding Japanese supply lines
over which the enemy is trying to
supply bases in the South Pacific,
American submarines have blasted
a destroyer and II other vessels to
bring to 536 the number OF enemy
craft sunk, probably sunk or dam
aged by the undersea arm Of the
Navy
This largest sinking report in
recent months gave emphasis to a
recent statement by Secretary of the
Navy Knox that the submarines on
their lonely patrols through the
Far Pacific are doing IAN excellent
job"
No details were disclosed on the
sinking of the destroyer, two large
tankers, one large freighter, two
medium transports and six medium
lfreighters which went down some
where in the Pacific"
All of the ships sunk were in the
category of vessels used to carry
men and materials to the far flung
japanese bases. Presumably the de-
stroyer was on convoy duty.
The submarine damage, which
with aerial bombing, has forced the
Japanese in some parts of the South
Pacific to resort to use of barges
for moving supplies, brought to 1886
the number of enemy ships definitely
sunk In addition the NaVy has
announced probable sinking Of 36
