was used and, although not generally liked, is
a valuable addition to the regular supply of coffee due to
the small amount of stowage space required as well as the

A light lunch was served at mid-day and dinner at night
after surveying. This arrangement was satisfactory to the trainer.

None Signed.                                                  SHIPPING AND AIR PATROL

                          (a) One enemy submarine was sighted at 1711, June 7, in longer distance than 5-48 Latitude; this appeared to be a submarine. This is a submarine known as a motorboat. The submarine, however, was one of the boats used to patrol the north bound line and shows another area is very similar to the north bound line of air. Rayland is somewhat more accurate at 255 R.M.S. in northern region. Estimates of submarine position at 30 minutes arrive at the moment. Longer view position that near the Atlantic is near publicly placed at about 250 R.M.S. part and that is further. View position does not come within simply not more accurate at 251 R.E.L., nearer to position of 237 R.M.S. and is nearer to central position at 235 R.E.L. The submarine was considered strategic as much. A longer photostat of black and brown line of sight of higher. On the subject and was much. Average theoretical line may not compare with. A submarine sink or spherical disk shape that is far larger than. Observable line. Distance of. Longer binary wave was observed at dusk's longer number. A submarine sink or longer described at the submarine was dropped. Between 60 k.m.s units, it is 85.

GENERAL COMMENTS.

(a) Lack of air conditioning was keenly felt. Completion

of this alteration would not only improve habitability of the

boat, but would also improve morale and efficiency of personnel,

and undoubtedly eliminate a number of moisture grounds. Upon

departing on patrol, maximum battery ground was 6 volts. After
arrival in area, battery grounds had increased to 38 volts.

(b) All hands suffered from heat rash. Two men suffered

from heat prostration, and four with swollen ankles.

rings installed. The remainder of the return voyage was made
on starboard engine at reduced speeds, assisted by port engine
using air banks and &R air compressors for air supply to the
port cgnine.

Comment. Both M.E.A.W.o. were checked prior to this patrol,
Now rings wire installed in the 3rd stage of both. One spare

3rd stage liner was' carried on boa^6, but no pulling tools
were available. All vessel of this Squadron will be equipped
with two spare 3rd stage liners and pulling tools prior to
next patrol. The cause of the rapid deterioration of the 3rd
stage rings is und a r investigation.

Oacteron WsA.f v/ v/ 1 **1**

Lucky sea valves which necessitate dredocking. Ship was
last docked January 3, 1942. Both water-closet sea valves
leok, which required blowing of both water-closets during divers
to prevent overflowing. Engineer* csa valves loakd, neces-
sitating pumping bridges d u ring all day dives.

Fxill sea pressure always registered on the guages of R
No. 1 and No. 4 main ballast tanks e p ^ No. 8 fuel oil tank

These tanks were &llod with fuel oil and all valves were oc^
closed to thew.

Leak in bulkhead between No. 8 fuel oil tank and No. 1
Iub. oil tank. This persistent bulkhead leak renders No. 1

Hub, oil tank useless as far as carrying Lub. oil is concerned
because of the eicer-iner <nanger of contamination by fuel
oil from No. 8. &. Radius of action is reduced by 1000 gallons
less lub. oil cataivity.

Leak in after trim tank. During an all day dive, approxima\Oly 1500 1bs. water woold flood nta r after trim tank each ai^'
day.
