By 1943, USS Wahoo had become one of the most aggressive American submarines in the Pacific, with Commander Dudley “Mush” Morton and executive officer Richard O’Kane pushing close to Japanese shipping routes from the Yellow Sea to the waters around Hokkaido.
Her patrols brought rapid attacks, risky surface chases, and a growing reputation at a time when the American submarine campaign was becoming one of the main threats to Japan’s maritime lifelines.
In October 1943, Morton took Wahoo north again, into the Sea of Japan and toward the narrow passage beside Cape Soya. The boat never returned, and her final movements remained uncertain for more than six decades, until the wreck was identified in La Perouse Strait in 2006.
