No Choice But To Return
Damage caused by the weaponry had caused a leak in the Grayback’s hull, forcing her to return to Brisbane, Australia, where she had been based since the beginning of the mission. Unfortunately, the submarine’s next mission was in February 1943, which was a setback. Once again, Grayback had a string of poor luck, this time operating at the waters of Bismarck Archipelago–Solomon Islands region without achieving any military achievement. But everything changed on her seventh tour, which started on April 25, 1943.

A Series Of Success
During this trip, the Grayback encountered a Japanese fleet and sunk the cargo vessel Yodogawa Maru using two torpedoes, bringing the war to an end. Later, a few days later, the American warship attacked an enemy ship, causing significant damage. The next day, the Grayback sank another cargo vessel, the England Maru, as well as two other ships in the area. Afterwards, it was time to return to Pearl Harbor in preparation for a new assignment.
