USS Argonaut (SS-166)
On 10 January 1943 Argonaut
spotted a convoy of five freighters and their destroyer escorts. An Army
aircraft was by chance flying overhead and witnessed A rgonaut's attack.
Argonaut hit at least one of the destroyers with her torpedoes, and they
promptly counterattacked. A crew member on board the plane saw Argonaut's
bow suddenly break the water at an unusual angle. It was apparent that a depth
charge had severely damaged the submarine The destroyers continued circling Argonaut
and pumping shells into her. She slipped below the waves and was never heard
from again. One hundred and five officers and men went down with the submarine.
Her name was struck from the Navy list on 26 February 1943.
