SUBMARINE BASE, Pearl Har.
Dor, May 18.-Breaking a silence o1
eight months concerning under.
water activities. the Navy revealed
yesterday the dramatic tale of %
rescues by the submarine Tang
during the carried plane assault
against Truk, April 1890.
1t. Comdr. Richard Hetheringtor
O'Kane, skipper of the submarine
told press conference how the
submarine completed the rescues
shelled at least one beach at Truk
went into the waters which charts
showed completely unnavigable-
without losing man from the crew
or one of the aviators.
(The Navy public relations Off
Ger of the 18th district in San
Francisco said Comdr O'Kane
previously was executive officer
of the famed submarine Wahoo
which accounted for more than
250,000 tons of enemy shipping
before it was sunk)s
On completion of the work, the
submarine was so crowded with res
cued men and the crew they had to
sleep in shifts.
The Tang's two-day saga began
shortly after the first wave of bomb
ers had screamed down at Truk
She was notified a bomber was down
a short distance off the reef.

man, Aubrey James Gill sof San
Francisco. and the other by 1t. Jo'-
seph Dowpie, Wilmette, ILL.,, with
Radioman Robert E. Hill of Weldon,
Tex.
For luck the sub shelled the
beaches at Ollan Island when one
call forced the submersible to pass
close inshore.
The second morning started with
1t. Kanze's actual rescue, plus Hill
and Dowple whose plane had over
turned and sunk. While this was un-
derway, the submarines crewmen
saw another bomber go down
OKane turned the sub past Ollan
