dated September 26, 1942, Naval Operating Base,

Serial (031) September 30, 1942.

CONFIDENTIAL

From: The Commander Task Group Eight Point five.

To: The Commander Submarines, Pacific Fleet.

Subject: U.S.S. S-33 - Report of Third War Patrol.

1.    Forwarded.

2.    In order not to delay the forwarding of this report, Commander Submarine Squadron Forty-Five is preparing his comment separately, rather than by endorsement.

3.    The period of twenty-six days on station during this patrol was divided between an inactive area as a protective scout, in connection with an amphibious operation, and an area in the immediate vicinity of ISKA. During twenty days in the latter area there were but three enemy contacts, none of which resulted in completed attacks; one being frustrated by destroyer escorts attacking, one, against a destroyer target, being broken off when it was considered the submarine had been sighted by a plane, and low visibility preventing early detection of the other. The first two attacks were handicapped by sea conditions, flat calm. It is well to note, however, that there is considerable weight of opinion to the effect that certain advantages may accrue from remaining at periscope depth when a depth charge attack is developing. One of these is that the attacker's errors can be capitalized upon. Furthermore, by remaining at periscope depth or returning thereto at frequent intervals, a measure of the offensive can be retained and completion of a successful attack may well result.

4.    The limited number of contacts in the areas adjacent to KISKA, in comparison with the known volume of traffic, has led to the conclusion that maximum use is being made by the enemy of the darkness hours. Also, after daylight landfalls are made, tracks close inshore are to be expected. The deduction that enemy shipping stays outside the 100-fathom curve in the approaches to KISKA HARBOR is not concurred in.

5.    Enclosure (4), a very good track chart, is being retained for use in planning.

### 11. RADIO RECEPTION
Radio reception was complete as far as Comtaskgroup 8.5.  Small series were concerned.  Static was very bad during early mornings.  Submerged reception of PNG was imprac 1Handle in area  How.
PNG could be heard signal strength 2 a depth of 44 feet.  This was
impracticable due to heavy vanellss and necessity of heading toward or away from bearing of station.  NPI was listened to for comaprial on signal strength and vwould come in at strength 5 under same   conditions as PNG strength 2.  NPI could be copied down to 48 feet.
The daily message giving position or friendly shps was not repeated at night and therefore occasionally missed.

   Last serial sent:  Icy P.8sAt 11001 Iov.

### 12. SOUND CONDITIONS AND DENSITY LERZS.
No targets.  The usual strange knocking noises were heard occasionally in both areas but not as often as in previous patrols.

### 13. HEALTH AND HABITABILITY.
The health of the crew was fair.  There were numerous colds, two of which developed into mild cases of catarrhal fever.  Several men suffered minor bruises failing out of bunks in rough weather.  The continued rough weather was a little rugged to take.  Inability wtas bad.  Things has been cold and damp.

Despite the fact that no fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, pork or bacon wcgv available and half the eggs werb bad, the food was pretty good.  The cooks did a good job under the very diffieult condition~sm of rolling encountered.  They prepared vegetables, prepared in quality.  Many extras such as relics of pickles,  puncture, potatoes, seams.  Required ate.  We were carried to add veracity.  This ration cost wml probably be high.

Subject:

1.
The Fourth War Patrol of the 3-33 covered a period of twenty-eight (28) days of which seventeen (17) were spent in patrol areas. Only one contact was made and a favorable attack position could not be obtained.
2.
Material defects were not serious and will all be corrected during the refit period. Electrical equipment requires constant attention because of the water taken into the boat in the rough seas during the winter months in this locality. Superstructure repair and replacement is expected on each boat returning from patrol. This base is well organized to handle this repair.

     On two occasions we were sighted by fishing boats

who called out searching vessels. The time lag indicates that the

sighting sampans were not equipped with radio. They did give

accurate positions, however.

A patrol vessel patrols across the eastern side of

oneက်က terrain on north and south courses, steaming at approximate-

ly 5 knots, apparently listening.

June 4 - The sweep voltage regulator, a neon lamp, was found

to be burned out. Replacement of the neon lamp

cured the trouble.

June 11 - Ranges are so far off as to be useless because the

heater element of the crystal range tank is inoper-

ative. The trouble was traced to a burned out

heater for the range tank. Repairs cannot.be made

at sea.

CONFIDENTIAL

From: The Commander Task Group Sixteen point Five.
(The Commander Submarine Squadron Forty-Five).

To: The Commander Submarine Force, U.S. PACIFIC FLEET.

Subject: U.S.S.In-3-S event War Patrol.

1. The S-33 spent a total of twenty-eight days on this patrol; of this time fifteen were spent in the area. Close coverage was maintained on the east and west coasts of PARALUSHLIRC ISLAND. Although the visibility has improved over previous patrols in this area, few contacts were made; with the exception of patrol craft and numerous fishing vessels.

2. The three attacks made on sampans were aggressively and well executed. Favorable opportunities to destroy fishing vessels should be accepted to discourage efforts to hamper operations in the area. Failure to hit target on fourth attack is attributed to lag in radar bearings. Justification for firing on an unseen vessel in waters frequented by RUSSL!V vessels is not warranted. The firing of one torpedo is not considered a good practice at a target considered worthy of torpedo expenditure.

3. The general condition and performance of machinery was very dcd. Steps have been taken to improve the service quality of radar; which includes procurement of spare parts and spare SJ captlette. Additional technicians are assigned to this Squadron and operating personel will be schooled in the operation and servicing during rotit periods.

4. The S-33 is credited with inflicting the following damage on the enemy:
