  • Submarine USS Narwhal surfaced at sunset off Lipata Point, Panay, Philippines and contacted members of the Philippine Army. She began unloading cargo but poor cooperation from the Filipino boatmen meant the operation lasted well past midnight. Narwhal took aboard 14 evacuees including one woman, Mrs. Johnson, who was seven months pregnant. ww2dbase [Narwhal | Lipata, Panay | DS]

  • Submarine USS Narwhal continued unloading supplies and personnel at Lipata, Panay, Philippines. Cooperation from the Filipino boatmen deteriorated to the point that after nine hours into a one-hour job, the remaining cargo was put over the side (where it floated) for the Filipinos to bring ashore as they pleased. Members of the Filipino work party still on deck were also pushed over the side to swim to the beach. Upon retiring from the area, Narwhal closed on a small sailing launch towing an even smaller unmanned motor launch. Narwhal engaged in order to divert attention away from the cargo landing activities at Lipata. The sailing launch cut away the motor launch and fled at high speed. Narwhal fired her guns at the stranded motor launch, inflicting unknown damage. ww2dbase [Narwhal | Lipata, Panay | DS]
