Burrfish Operational Timeline

10 Nov 1944 Submarines USS Silversides, USS Saury, USS Tambor, USS Trigger, USS Sterlet, USS Ronquil, and USS Burrfish departed Saipan as a designated task unit to sweep and destroy Japanese patrol boats between the Bonin Islands and Japan. The unit was commanded by Cdr Thomas "Burt" Klakring aboard Silversides.
15 Nov 1944 While conducting a sweep northward from the Bonin Islands, Wolfpack "Burt's Brooms" made up of submarines USS Silversides, USS Saury, USS Tambor, USS Trigger, USS Sterlet, USS Ronquil, and USS Burrfish open a four-day running gunfight with numerous Japanese patrol boats sinking two and damaging four, including two damaged so badly they see no further service during the war.
22 Feb 1945 Submarine USS Peto rendezvoused with submarine USS Burrfish, returning from her patrol, to transfer a sailor with a burst appendix for transportation to Saipan for medical treatment.

My father served on the Burrfish (SS312). I believe he was a torpedoeman. Looking for any information. Reviewed the photos on this page and could not see him in any.
