I had known the former skipper of the Barb when he was skipper of the S-45 in Panama. She was not credited with sinking anything on her first six war patrols.#2 I was assigned to the Barb, a submarine, as its captain. I was excited, but the fates were still gambling with me. Admiral Lockwood sent me a message stating that he would visit Midway and want to talk with me on 20 May, the day before we were scheduled to depart for the Barb’s eighth patrol in the Okhotsk Sea north of Japan.#3 The Barb, Herring, and Golet were assigned to cover the whole of the Okhotsk Sea jointly. Whenever anyone made a contact with a convoy, the Wolfpack Commander was to be the Barb. I was confident I would do well.#4 The crew of the Barb was extremely excited and ready to sink the five ships. They had never fired any stern torpedoes, but they were going to do it.
