USS Scamp (SS-277)

SCAMP set out on her eighth war patrol on 16 October 1944. She fueled at Midway on the 20th, then set course for the Bonin Islands. On 9 November, she acknowledged a message changing her patrol area. She reported her position to be about 150 miles north of the Bonin Islands with all 24 torpedoes aboard and 77,000 gallons of fuel remaining. On 14 November, she was ordered to take up the life guard station off Tokyo Bay in support of B-29 bomber strikes, but failed to acknowledge the message. SCAMP was never heard from again. From records available after the war, it appears that SCAMP was sighted by Japanese planes and reported depth charged by a coast defense vessel to the south of Tokyo Bay on 11 November SCAMP was struck from the Navy list on 28 April 1945.
