Hake Operational Timeline

17 Jul 1942 American submarine Hake was launched.
24 Aug 1944 USS Harder and USS Hake detected Japanese ships just off Dasol Bay on the western coast of the Philippines at 0630 hours, but Lieutenant Commander Frank Haylor of USS Hake mis-identified the ships as Thai ships, thus did not pursue. The Japanese escorts, escort ship Type D No. 22 and Patrol Boat No. 102 detected the two periscopes, and Type D No. 22 moved in to attack. USS Harder fired three torpedoes at Type D No. 22, with all of them missing. At 0728 hours, Type D No. 22 located USS Harder with her Type 3 sonar, and fired five salvos of depth charges at the approximate location. USS Harder was sunk with all hands lost. USS Hake escaped the engagement. At 1948 hours, Patrol Boat No. 102, Type D No. 22, and Niyo Maru arrived at Manila, Philippines.
20 Oct 1944 Submarines USS Growler, Hake, and Hardhead departed Fremantle, Australia as a wolfpack bound for the South China Sea. This would be Growler’s eleventh war patrol.
