HISTORY OF USS LOGGERHEAD (SS 374)

The USS LOGGERHEAD (SS 374) was built by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding
Company, Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The keel was laid April 1, 1944, and the
ship was launched August 13, 1944. The launching sponsor was Mrs. Barb-
ara Fox, secretary to United States Senator Willis of Indiana, and widow
of an Army Air Forces officer killed in action over Italy. The LOGGERHEAD
was the twenty-fourth submarine side-launched in fresh water by the Manit-
owoc Shipbuilding Company.

The LOGGERHEAD was commissioned February 9, 1945, with Commander
Ralph M. Metcalf, USN, as first commanding officer. After a brief training
period on Lake Michigan, she departed Manitowoc for Chicago on February
28. Transit of the Chicago Ship and Sanitary Canal was made under tow,
and on March 1, 1945, the LOGGERHEAD entered a floating dry dock at
Lockport, Illinois, and under tow by the SS MINNESOTA of the Federal
Barge Lines proceeded through the Illinois-Mississippi waterway to
New Orleans, arriving March 7, 1945.

At New Orleans, torpedoes, ammunition, fuel and stores were taken
aboard. The ship departed New Orleans March 12 and arrived in the Canal
Zone March 17. An intensive training period of 16 days was spent in
the Perlas Islands during which 71 practice torpedoes were fired. The
LOGGERHEAD reported for duty to Commander-in-Chief Pacific Fleet and
departed Balboa for Pearl Harbor April 8.

The boat reached Pearl Harbor April 25 and after an additional
training period and installation of new equipment, left Pearl Harbor
May 15, 1945, on her first war patrol.

An overnight stop was made in Saipan for fuel and minor repairs;
leaving Saipan May 28. The LOGGERHEAD proceeded to her patrol area
via Luzon Straits, reporting for duty to Commander Submarines South-
west Pacific on June 2. Twenty-four hours were spent off the East
coast of Hainan Island but no targets were sighted and our patrol
area was then changed to an off shore life guard station South of
Hongkong.

The LOGGERHEAD remained in this area until midnight of June 30,
conducting surface patrol. The only ship sighted was a properly marked
hospital ship, and as no friendly planes were shot down here during
this period, no aviators were rescued.

An overnight stop was made for fueld July 1-2 in Subic Bay,
Luzon. The LOGGERHEAD then proceeded to the Java Sea via the South
China Sea and Karimata Straits, delivering mail to five other submarines
on the way. A number of native sailboats were boarded and interrogated
in the Java Sea, and on the night of July 12, the LOGGERHEAD lead a
coordinated attack group consisting of herself, USS LIZARDFISH and
USS BECUNA into the Semarang, Java, roadstead.

          A total of 20 torpedoes was fired at ships and escort vessels
anchored there or in pursuit. All missed due to under-running their
targets, and the ensuing gun engagement was broken off with the app-
roach of daylight with no apparent damage to either submarines or
the enemy.

          The LOGGERHEAD transited Lombok Straits during daylight on
July 14 and was fired upon by shore batteries on the Lombok shore.
No damage was received and the ship proceeded South to Fremantle,
Western Australia, for refit alongside USS CLYTIE, arriving July 19.

          Refit following the first war patrol was accomplished in the
usual period. The ship was ready for sea and departed Fremantle
on her second war patrol August 13, 1945, exactly one year after her
launching. Cessation of hostilities August 15 found the LOGGERHEAD
500 miles North of Fremantle, headed for Lombok Straits and the
Gulf of Siam. Having been ordered to proceed to port as rapidly
as possible, the LOGGERHEAD then ran at nearly full power for
seven days, entering Subic Bay August 22, to complete her second
war patrol.

          The LOGGERHEAD departed Subic Bay August 31, 1945, in company
with USS HOWARD, GILMORE and seventeen other submarines. She
arrived in Pearl Harbor September 14 and left Pearl Harbor the
following day bound for San Francisco.

          The LOGGERHEAD has been designated for ultimate assignment
to the Nineteenth Fleet (Inactive), Pacific Fleet, and will be
laid up on the West Coast.

(L) RADIO:-
Excellent performance was obtained from the standard radio equipment
RAK, RAL, RBH, RBS, and TBL-12. Not even minor casualties were
encountered. The RAL was by far the best receiver for filtering
out jamming and interference.
The VHF model SCR-624, however, kept one technician busy eight hours
a day most of the time that equipment was aboard. Type 12-C-8 and
832 tubes were burned out, the mechanical switching device for chang-
ing frequency bent contacts in sliding into channel "A", the spring
type clips connecting the antenna to the coaxial cable lead on the
periscope shears were found corroded, a filter condensor designated
202-16 burned out and grounded all tube plates in the receiver.
These troubles were aggravated by the lack of high frequency testing
equipment, resulting in no sure means of determining if the equip-
ment was operating properly.
This transceiver was replaced by the model ARC-4 equipment by the
ANTHEDON at Subic Bay. The latter unit has proved dependable and
no materiel trouble has been experienced since installation. It is
smaller, better constructed, and does not embody the troublesome
mechanical frequency shifting arrangement of the SCR-624. However,
ranges for ship-to-ship communication seemed to be limited to 3000
yards.
No trouble was experienced with transmissions to Radio Subic on the
4235 Kc series from the Hong Kong area or from the Java Sea. South
of the Barrier one message had to be relayed through Radio Perth.
Performance of the new whip type antenna was excellent. It takes
the transmitter load well and was also generally the best receiver
antenna. The two wing antennas, though short, low, and close to the
conning tower fairwater, also performed well. One message was sent
on the port wing antenna to Subic from Karimata Strait with good
results.
It was impossible to contact any boat in the area using CW on the
SAP-plan frequency beyond 300 miles.
Lifeguard communications with planes on 4475 Kc voice were generally
good.
The commanding officer feels that it is impossible to properly safe-
guard Top Secret information when the fact that it is top-secret,
and the serial number or letter, is found at the end of the despatch.
This occurred in three instances during the latter portion of the
patrol.

(V) REMARKS:

Delivery of mail cut our six day patrol extension to an actual three
days in the area.

Having burned our own patrol reports before reaching salvageable
waters, we were surprised to discover that we carried at least 30
copies of patrol reports addressed to the various submarines with
whom we were to rendezvous.

The cooperation of the LIZARDFISH, Commander O. M. Butler, in the
abortive night attack July 12-13, left nothing to be desired. Only
the escorts' shallow draft prevented his destruction of one or more
of them.

The commanding officer regrets that no appreciable damage was
inflicted on the enemy. The fighting spirit of the officers and
crew of the LOGGERHEAD deserved to be rewarded with success.

FIRST ENDORSEMENT to

Report of First War Patrol.

From: The Commander Submarine Squadron THIRTY.
To: The Commander-in-Chief, U.S. FLEET.
Via: (1) The Commander Submarines, SEVENTH FLEET.
(2) The Commander-in-Chief, SEVENTH FLEET.
Subject: U.S.S. LOGGERHEAD (SS374) - Report of First War Patrol.

1. The first war patrol of the U.S.S. LOGGERHEAD under the
command of Commander R.M. METCALF, U.S. Navy, was conducted in the South
China Sea and Java Sea areas. Patrol was of 64 days duration with 39
days spent in the areas. Life runs only were performed from 2 June to
1 July but no requests for services were made.

2. Area coverage was excellent and the patrol well planned.
All aircraft contacts were friendly. Ships contacts were, one properly
marked hospital ship, five unidentified ships at anchor in SEMARANG
which were attacked with torpedoes and four small escorts which were
attacked with guns. G.P. ROCK lighthouse and radar station was bombarded
on the evening of 14 June and severely damaged. Average range was 5000
yards. 53 rounds of 5" were expended obtaining 20 hits on buildings and
lighthouse.

3. During the LOGGERHEAD's patrol in the Java Sea, numerous
native sail boats were stopped and the crew interrogated. One Indonesian
volunteer was taken aboard. Testimony confirms the fact that the Japs
have pressed into service for cargo carrying purposes all native boats
that enter or clear ports under their control. A separate report of
these interrogations has been made by LOGGERHEAD.

4. Torpedo Attack #1 was a coordinated night surface attack
with LIZARDFISH and RECUIN on 5 unidentified ships at anchor in SEMARANG.
Six Mk-14 torpedoes were fired from bow tubes on 120° port track, torpedo
run 2400 yards, depth set 4 feet, using a 600 feet linear spread.
LOGGERHEAD then fired 4 Mk-18 torpedoes from stern tubes using a 400 feet
linear spread with a torpedo run of 2300 yards. All ten torpedoes missed.
In retrospect, misses could be caused by torpedoes running under targets
or from hitting the soft mud bottom and not running at all. Four escorts
then headed for LOGGERHEAD. LIZARDFISH attacked leading escort firing
six torpedoes and all missed. LOGGERHEAD then commenced approach on
leading escort as escorts were now closing LIZARDFISH. Due to radical
maneuvers of those escorts the LOGGERHEAD broke off attack.
LIZARDFISH then attacked, firing four torpedoes and all missed.

              Gun attack #1 was a coordinated attack on the same
torpedo targets. LOGGERHEAD and BECUNA formed column and
opened fire with 5" and 40mm. LOGGERHEAD fired one star shell for
each 10 service rounds fired. Illumination was poor and targets could
be seen for only a few seconds. No hits were obtained by this attack
group and the gun action was broken off. The decision of the Commanding
Officer of LOGGERHEAD in breaking off the engagement is considered sound.

              5. The LOGGERHEAD returned from patrol very clean and in
good material condition. Refit will be completed in normal time.

              6. The Squadron Commander welcomes the LOGGERHEAD to the
Southwest Pacific area and congratulates the Commanding Officer, Officers
and crew upon the completion of a well planned and determined patrol
and the damage inflicted upon the enemy.

Subject: U.S.S. LOGGERHEAD (SS374) - Report of First
War Patrol - Comment on.

1. The First War Patrol of the LOGGERHEAD under the
command of Commander R.M. METCALF, U.S.N., was composed of two
phases separated by a refueling stop in SUBIC BAY; the First
Phase from 2 June to 1 July being devoted to lifeguard services
in the HAINAN-HONG KONG area. The Second Phase from 2 July to
19 July was conducted in the JAVA SEA. LOGGERHEAD coordinated
her patrol on occasion with LIZARDFISH and BECUNA.

2. Although the area coverage of this patrol was
thorough and efficient, only one contact on a worthwhile tor-
pedo target was made. On 14 June the lighthouse, buildings,
and suspected radar station on GAP ROCK were subjected to a
short and effective bombardment. On Friday the thirteenth of
July an anchored convoy in SEMARANG was attacked with torpedoes
and LIZARDFISH and BECUNA joined in a night starshell gun at-
tack on the escorts.

3. LOGGERHEAD made the first daylight surface tran-
sit of LOMBOK STRAIT that has been conducted since the enemy
obtained control of those waters and, after completing the tran-
sit, she was fired on by LOMBOK ISLAND shore batteries. Day-
light surface passage of this Strait is not a good policy. One
of the reasons that submarines of this Force have been able to
use this Strait successfully for so long is that every effort
has been made to conceal from the Japs the large amount of sub-
marine traffic which has been using it. To let the enemy know
by visual sightings that we are still using it extensively will
only result in increased A/S measures in the form of more shore
batteries and patrol boats.
