USS GOLET (SS 361)
June 14, 1944 - 82 Men Lost
En route to her second patrol, GOLET (Lt. Cmdr. J.S. Clark) left Midway on May 28, 1944, for the entire area off the northeast coast of Honshu. No word was ever heard from her after she departed Midway.
GOLET was scheduled to depart her area on July 5, 1944, and was expected at Midway about July 12th or 13th. On July 9, 1944, she was sent a message which required an acknowledgement, but none came. On July 11th, a sharp lookout was posted at Midway for a submarine coming in without being able to transmit. By July 26, 1944, the ship had not returned, and it was reported as presumed lost.
In the reports covering Japanese antisubmarine attacks, made since war’s end, one is recorded as having been on June 14, 1944. This attack is considered to explain GOLET’s loss, since the enemy, in his report, states, “On the spot of fighting we later discovered corks, raft, etc., and heavy oil pool of 50 by 5,200 meters.” GOLET was credited with no sinkings or damage to enemy ships on her first patrol, conducted in the Kuriles and the area south of Hokkaido and east of Honshu.
