  • While transiting toward her patrol area south of Japan in the daylight, submarine USS Saury made a sudden dive because of a ship sighting. The navigator first observed what he said was thick black smoke. Captain Dropp identified it as a ship heading straight toward them. While submerged, Saury circled into a better firing position. When the submarine surfaced to make the attack, they were surprised to learn they had been stalking Lot's Wife, a 300-ft tall rock pillar in the middle of the ocean. ww2dbase [Saury | Philippine Sea | DS]

  • At 1848/I, USS Ancon's radar captured a clear image of a well-formed tropical storm on a rapid northeasterly track heading directly toward Rear Admiral J.J Clark's 76-ship formation of ships including carriers, battleships, and a replenishment group. Ancon prepared a message for Clark and Fleet Commander Admiral William Halsey but because of coding requirements and a heavy volume of similarly coded weather reports from other sources, Ancon's report was not fully appreciated by Clark or Halsey for over five hours. By then, Clark's ships had already sailed into Typhoon Connie. ww2dbase [Ancon | J. J. Clark | William Halsey | Typhoon Connie | Philippine Sea | DS]
