In Arcadia. The work was laid down on 12 April 1918 by the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, Calif.; launched on 11 January 1919; sponsored by Miss Margaret. Tyrnan; and commissioned on June 1922, Lt. Edward E. Hazel, Jr., in command.

Soon after commissioning, S-32, assigned to Submarine Division 17 and homeported at San Pedro, Calif., was ordered to New London, Conn. She was commissioned there on 25 September 1922 and after engineering alterations by the prime contractor, the Electric Boat Co., and the engineering sub-contractor, the New London Ship and Engine Co.,. was commissioned on 21 February 1923. Temporary duty with Division 11 then took her south to the Caribbean and the Canal Zone for winter exercises with the Fleet, after which she rejoined the S-boats of her division, now designated Divisi 16, and returned to San Pedro.

During the summer of 1923, she participated in cold weather exercises in the Aleutians. In the fall, she resumed local operations off southern California and, at winter, she returned to the Canal Zone. In April 1924, she moved back to San Pedro, whence she operated into 1925. Early that year, however, her division was transferred to the Asiatic Fleet and its submarines shifted to Maré Island to prepare for the transatlantic crossing.

On 15 April 1925, S-32 departed San Francisco for the Philippines. She arrived at Cavite in mid-summer and through the winter of 1926 conducted local exercises in the Luzon area. That spring, she deployed to the China coast, conducting exercises both on route to and from her summer base', the former German base at Tsingtao. Overhaul followed her September return to the Philippines and completed an annual employment schedule which she maintained for the next six years.

In 1932, Division 16 was ordered back to the eastern Pacific. S-32 departed Manila Bay on 2 May and, at the end of the month, arrived at Pearl Harbor, her homeport for the next five years. In June 1937, she sailed for the east coast. In August, she reported for inactivation at Philadelphia and, on 7 December, she was decommissioned and berthed at Locne Island.

Within two years, however, Europe was at war. Hostilities soon extended across the Atlantic; and, in the summer of 1940, S-32 began activation.

Commissioned on 18 September 1940 and assigned to Division 52, S-32 conducted trials out of New London through November and, in December, proceeded to the Panama Canal Zone, whence she operated until April 1941. She then returned to New London but, toward the end of April, moved south again, to Bermuda. Through May, she patrolled and conducted training exercises out of the St. George's base,'acquired in the destroyers for bases agreement. In late June,

7. SUMMARY OF ATTACKS
    Form report submitted to Comsubpac with original of report.
8. ENEMY A/S MEASURES
    On October 19, a destroyer was sighted apparently out looking for us after our attack on the l8th in MUSASHI WAN. At this time we were less than 100 miles from attack location. We attempted to close destroyer but she finally disappeared on course 125 degrees true. It was surmised that she had left from KASHIWAWARA WAN in response to our attack and was searching on a circular course from that location. No other patrolling craft was sighted.
9. None Encountered.
10. MAJOR DEFECTS EXPERIENCED
    None, except for the leak in the after trim tank that occurred during our fourth war patrol and was not located during our refit period.
11. COMMUNICATIONS
    Radio Reception
   (a) 19.8 Kcs. proved to be undesirable while we were at our maximum distance from NFG. The noise level was generally higher than the signal strength. During the hours when NFG was unreadable, NFG came in strength five.
   (b) NFG on 30.6 Kcs. had the same characteristics as in (a) aboard, however this frequency was seldom used.

— page 55 —
12 - ENCLOSURE "C"

(c) We were unable to use 11.5 k-ps., except for an occasional time
tick.

(d) All high frequencies offered their usual dawn and evening
twilight, minimums but this did not hamper reception seriously. The
general stability of high frequency was, realized .

(e) In summation it is reasonable to assume that reception would
be assured if NPM were guarded in this area.

(f) Reception from AFCIIG was i m poorly dumng sulphur-ed operations
near exPNatNARHU but th4 \n 200 miles Iron ATU ISLAND. we experienced aq spesso OIS AT t K%
50 feet. excessively saturated with noise under those failures.

Radio Transmissions
(a) No contact was made on 169f0 kcs. in spite of indications show
ing resonance and out put. 1'm easo light was used to verify antenna
radiation. Due to the sharpness of this trequency it" was not
fully expected to make a contact sot tine there is no CMdeude time
for alert tuning. No singnic needs heard on tnis faency.
(b) An attempt to rnmke contact on 5470 kcs., a very coyonventional reprintd.
frequency for strictly evening transmissions', failed to oring results.
This tends to indicate that very little effort is made to guard
this frequency alertly.
(c) Contact was made on 4235 kos. long after dark with Pfizer and N年我国
(NPG was utilized). We received NP6 stren<thor r ev-be nut.t ""

as_ut that our transmission gave them poor receph". We
assume now that 2000 miles now working distance for our

1. F. Sun, Oahalum. scribed this plan while in Poland. He also applied the plan to the entire territory of his country in a trial survey. In the process of planning, Mr. Pries presented the following instructions:

   • The goal was to cover an area of 800 acres and leave an opening at one end for a passage.

   • Trapezoidal shapes were to be used for each of the four sides, except the easternmost one, where a triangular shape is required. The plan should use steel reinforcement and only steel plans in new excavations.

   • The width of the plan should be 18-6 feet to 20 feet, with gables ending at the gable faces with a width of 6 feet and a length of 18 feet.

   • The plates will be conveyed by rifle carriers at a rate of 12 miles an hour.

13. HEALTH AND HABITABILITY:

Other than a few minor injuries and colds, which responded
to routine treatment, requiring no admission to the sick
list, the health of the officers and crew was excellent,
Vitamin pills were taken by all hands. It was noted that
within a period of 2-1 hours following a deep chase attack
several cases of mild gastric disturbance, consisting of
slight nuesitating cnd cramps-like feeling (actual nausea in
only one case) developed; rapid recovery rithout treatment
followed.

The winter clothing supplied still does not meet requirements
for this area. Somcthing should be done to provide proper
clothing such as suggested by all commending officers who
have operated in this area. A flowcl-lined coverall (water-
proofed) would he excellent ancl less ouly, then the com-
plomerate apparel now used. lvsmith personnel seem to
be well supplied with proper clothing so why can't we?

**| To :: The Commander Submarine, Squadron Forty-Five .The Commander Submarine Force, Pacific Fleet). Subject: U.S.S. S-32 - Report of Sixth War Patrol. Enclosure: (A) Subject Report.**

**1.** The Seventh War Patrol of the U.S.S. S-32 covered a period of twenty-four (24) days, of which sixteen (16) days were spent in the patrol area. The patrol was characterized by thorough coverage of the assigned area, alertness and aggressiveness. Three attack opportunities were presented against combatant ships and three successful attacks were made.

2 The following is an analysis of the attacks:

Attack No. 1

This night surface attack on an enemy destroyer was aggressively conducted. It was pressed home to almost a point blank range. Four torpedoes were fired and one hit obtained under the forward after turret. A time check indicates that the hit was obtained by the second torpedo fired which was fired with the largest lead. It is therefore believed that the other three torpedoes missed astern. The target was observed to be seriously afire two hours after the attack and shortly thereafter the fire disappeared, followed by three explosions heard on the bridge and in the boat. A close reconnaissance of Holt Bay, L .Chicagc Harbor and Sarana Bay during the next four days and aircraft observations failed to disclose the presence of the target, indicating it had been destroyed.

The S-32 had a narrow escape from ramming by a second enemy destroyer, which approached undetected, and was saved by quick submergence after firing the fourth torpedo. This emphasizes the importance of a continual radar search during low visibility attacks and of lookouts guarding their assigned sectors regardless of the diversion.

Attack No. 2.

This night surface attack on an enemy submarine was made on the assumption that the target was lying to, which assumption proved correct. Two torpedoes were fired and on 1c hit obtained. It is believed the first torpedo missed ahead. At a range of 2500 yards, three or seven four torpedoes would have been justified, considering the importance of the target. A. A thorough search of the area after firing by sound, radar, and n estinason

to well visual and one positive hit warrants a claim of sinking.

U.S.S. S-32 Report of Seventh War Patrol.

2. WEATHER:

 March 29 -April 2, 1943. Enroute DUTH HARBOR to ATTU ISLAND.

Weather was generally quite cold, below freezing most of the time, causing ice to form on superstructure. Sky was generally overcast at night permitting few morning and evening twilight fixes. Sun during day, however broke through enough to obtain running fixes every day. During passage seas were fairly calm, compared to usual rough weather in the arc. Average south-ellery set was encountered making it necessary to steer about 230 miles (2) degrees to the north of our course.

 April 2 - 16, 1943. On station in vicinity of ATTU.

 The period from April 2, to April 10, was almost continually rough and snow fell incessantly. About four days out of this period the seas were mountainous, making periscope exposures impossible and depth control very hard. Continuos snow storms passed through area making visibility very bad about seventy-five percent of the time. These shown storms could be seen coming in for the north. The latter few days on station proved quite a change. The snow storms became more infrequent, part of them being in the form of rain. The heavy swells and mountains seas became long low swells, and at tinas almost calm. The noon made visibility very good at night the last few days as the island could be observed from distances as great as 15 to 20 miles. The wind and seas were generally from north-West to north-east changing rapidly at times. Wind, except for a few of the rouwest days, was moderate, also coming from a North-West to northeastly direction.

 April 16 - 20, 1943. Enroute ATTU ISLAND to DUTH HARBOR.

 Weather very mild, seas calm and visibility excellent during both day and night except for a few scattered snow storms which last only a few minutes at a time. Star fixes were obtained, also running fixes of the sun during day.

3. TIDAL INFORMATION:

 In the ATTU area the southenestly currents are still encountered. The set and drift recordings were always between 100° true and 150* true and from 0.17 to 1.0 knots. The current around the center of the island is more east by South-East while along the east and West-xtreentieths of ATTU the current is more southwest. A definite southerly current is still obtained off entrance of HOLTZ BAY. Also a very strong current is experienced off CAE TRAGEL. In order to make good a course at 200° true, we hired to steer about 200° to the right (220° true).

4. MaVICTAl. LD S:

Charts made available this v essel, though of great use with

aerial photos, topography and a few soundings, are still inade-

quate for navigation d lose to the shcre.

During this pel t OI, the north coast of ATrU was covered and

a series of periscope pictures were taken from known positions.

SARANA BAY, CHICAGO HARBOR. and HOLTZ BAY were covered throughly

by periscope pictures.

Also, soundings were taken along the north coast of the

island and plotted on a chart.

9. MINE SWEEIPING: - None observed, fog prevented seeing any.

10. MAJOR DEFECTS:

1. On May 15 the port main motor armaturc ground out completely. Upon inspection it was found that the commutator had grounded by a hole of 1/2" diameter burned through the "y" ring on the after end of the commutator, grounding it to the mico collar. In addition, the mico insulation between the greatest percentage of the commutator bars had deteriorated.

An attempt to remedy the burn by patching it with a litharggelvcorine paste succeeded in increasing the megger readings. Since no commutator cement is carried on board, the bars were cleaned out as best they could. When a ten ampere energizing current was applied to the armature. field in order to dry it out, the armature began to smoke and the zero ground returned as before. Since it was dangerous to continue to reclaim at sea, the motor was secured.

It is recommended that a new armature be installed at the earliest possible opportunity.

17. FACTOR CAUSING TERMINATION OF PATROL.

Failure of main motor.

18. REMARKS:

In numerous grounds that occurred in all the electrical installations
leave much to be desired on an S-boats during war patrol.

In view of the tiding of ATTU and the increased range of S-boats into
Japanese air controlled areas, the addition of an SD radar during the
schedulh2d overhaul is requested along with a radar technician. -Tho.-lack
of a competent radar technician on this patrol resulted in the loss of the
use of tho very valuable Sj radar, despite the attempts of a chief elect~
rician and radioman to fix this instrument over a period of nine days when
it was needed most, in a thick fog.

The cause of the zero(grund in tho port main motor as-desorbed under-
major casualties is also appearing in the starboard main motor armaturre
installed only last December. It is requested the cause of tho breaddown
and the decomposition of the mcac insulation be investigated and remoleded
during scheduled overhaul by company reporters.

To have the patrol terminate after just reaching an area where contacts
were 50 frequent and choice was a groad disappointment to the commanding
officers, officers, and crew of the S-32 who wanted to and this winters

    were so frequent and choice was a great disappointment to the commanding
    officer, officers and crew of the S-32 who wanted to end this winters
    successful campaign with a few more sinkings. This area holds great promise
    as evidenced by the numerous contacts in such a short time.
