Attack in Jap Home Seas

Of the 39 Japanese ships sunk by submarines or believed to have been sunk, 13 have been sent to the bottom in Japan's home waters. On Jan. 17 the navy announced that three enemy merchant ships | had been sunk by submarine action off Tokyo bay and a month later { a 5000-ton cargo ship was sunk in | the east China sea. On March 12 | the navy reported the submarine sinking of three Japanese freighters land a passenger-cargo ship in Japanese waters where another enemy { freighter was torpedoed and surk! about a week ago.

AN AMERICAN NAVAL BASE, SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA, March 24 —"A carrier in the moonlight” is what submarine officers dream about. To the underwater-bred mind, nothing more beautiful imagined than a Japanese aircraft carrier fully profiled in clear moonbeams—the biggest, the fattest and! |th e most desirable enemy that any- { body could want. yhen submarine officers =zay rely the words, “carrier in moonHight.
