Pipefish Operational Timeline

3 Dec 1944 Patrol Boat No. 102 detected a surfaced American submarine on the surface in the South China Sea and opened fire at 0535 hours. At 0600 hours, USS Pampanito fired 4 torpedoes at the convoy, HI-83, scoring one hit on tanker Seishin Maru. At 0607 hours, USS Pipefish fired 3 torpedoes, hitting and sinking escort ship Type D No. 64. Type D No. 63 dropped 28 depth charges in the direction of USS Pipefish, causing no damage. HI-83 broke up in response of this attack, with each ship independently sailing toward the coast to the west.

I hope you have the update posted soon. My father, G. A. Kiick MM1 served on the Pipefish for all her 6 war patrols. He was in charge of the engine room.

My father-in-law proudly served as a Pipefish officer. I would appreciate any additional information regarding the submarine’s service. Photos?
