alongside the USS COUCAL at Darwin to replenish food and fuel. After an uneventful transit of Banka Passage the patrol area was reached and the DACE commenced mine sweeping operations. With 2O-millimeter gun fire she sank six drifting type mines and ex- ploded one moored type (parts> of which became firmly imbedded in the deck, and narrowly missed the Officer of the Deck). Reconnais- Sance and mine-sweeping assign ments terminated on the 27th, when we moored alongside the USS ORION in Mics Woendi La- goon, Scholten Islands.
 An untimely casualty to the master gyro compass forced the DACE into the Reluctant Dragon Club" and departure was delayed until October 3. She then proceed ed via Sibutu and East Apo Pass and reached the assigned area of Palawan Passage and Balabac Strait on October 10. The 18th proved lucky day when seven ship convoy of tankers and freight CTS with two destroyers escorting was sighted. Shortly after mid night on the 14th (after the navi- gator 1abored over charts, bear ings, soundings and ranges) the DACE had firmly established her position inside a treacherous area of reefs, shoals and islands and proceeded to attack. While firing Con the surface) one torpedo ran cratic and only expert maneu- vering allowed the boat to con- tinue the attack and avoid her own torpedo which porpoised and cir cled and threatened the DACE's existence. Torpedo explosions in the targets alerted the destroyers and their tracers streaked through the air but no splaShes of falling enemy shells were noticed. The DACE cleared the area at full speed to reload. Results of this at- tack were one 1O,OO0-ton tanker sunk and one 7,5OO-ton transport sunk. Approaching daylight forced the ship to leave the hazardous area. On the 18th, two nosey, alert Jap anti-submarine destroyerS avoided our torpedoes and prompt ly retaliated with depth charges. Again shortly after midnight on

the 22nd, while exchanging inc formation with the USS DARTER, the radar contacted high speed en- emy Ships-definite indication of men, of-war. In conjunction with the DARTER and the DACE, mak- ing maximum speed on the Sur- face, set course to intercept these desirable targets. But the enemys radical change of course plus the advantage of greater speed per- mitted him to escape untouched and unseen.
 Our orders were to return to the base. However, the Skipper had that funny feeling in his bones'' and requested that the DACE be given permission to extend her time in the "hot spot" The next night (and again min- utes after midnight while talk ing to the DARTER, long range radar contact put us in pursuit of the enemy. Tn this instance a fail ure in our most vital piece of equipment caused us to lose touch with our future targets. Teamwork on the part of the DARTER and our communication set-up permitted us to continue our chase. Meanwhile the expertly trained technicians worked Hike mad" and in short time had our equipment back in shape. At about 0200, an enemy task force of 12 big and important men-of-war sur- rounded by fast, cautious "tin- cans" was being plotted and re- corded So the Old Mans hunch had materialized and the DACE and DARTER were making prep arations for the big event to take place at dawn.
 The DARTE'R made the first run and did beautiful job of destroying Jap men-of-war. Short ly thereafter the DACE executed attack at dawn which cost the Japs their biggest heavy cruiser the MAYA. Of course a destroy CT counter attack followed and the noise of torpedoes, the cruisers magazines exploding, the depth charging and the sinking ships breaking up noises were terrific. The same night a crippled heavy cruiser with two torpedoes was trying to seek the safety of Continued on Page 25

 Upon completing these missions the ship returned to Seeadler liar Dor, Admiralty Islands, for fuel, arriving midday the 27th. The next day she headed out once more bound for the patrol area. On March 31, she received two-bomb straddle from lab bomber which dived out of the clouds. On Apr. 4 the DACE sighted an aircraft car rier leaving Davao Gulf but could not close to attack. At 0O12 April 9th, the DACE contacted a task force of three Jap cruisers and four destroyers. Two torpedoes were fired at each cruiser at 0042. There were no hits. At O13O the next morning, the DACE contacted an escorted freighter, but after a prolonged chase, the sub was de- tected and received three depth charges. She was unable to attack.
 The DACE received orders Ap- Til 10th to meet the badly damaged USS SCAMP, and escort her home. That evening contact was estab- 1ished and the DACE and the SCAMP commenced their long trek back to the base, arriving in Seead- Ter Harbor April 16th. On April 18th, the DACE got underway for patrol once again.
 During this time the DACE had a very interesting experience. The ship made a routine dive to evade a Jap plane. Due to the excite ment of the moment and tenn porary loss of power the boat nosed gently over to an angle of B degrees. Everyone was forced down to the forward bulkhead. The Chief Radioman, J. H. Jemi- son, U. s. N., slid out of the radio shack, inadvertently grabbed the knocker valve on the high pres sure air manifold and blew the main ballast tanks. The Captain ordered all back full. Control was regained just before the boat broached so that she stayed out of sight under the surface.
