ww2dbaseTwo months after commissioning, USS Corvina arrived at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, United States for front line service. Her first and only war patrol began on 4 Nov 1943. Two days later, she arrived at Johnson Atoll west of Hawaii to receive fuel before sailing toward Truk in the Caroline Islands. Communications with USS Corvina was lost after she departed Johnson Atoll. Post-war study of Japanese records found that Japanese submarine I-176 launched three torpedoes at an enemy submarine south of Truk on 17 Nov (17 Nov Tokyo Time; still 16 Nov in the US), claiming two hits; it was possible that this particular target was USS Corvina, and if so, USS Corvina would be the only US submarine to be sunk by a Japanese submarine in the Pacific War.

To Anonymous (above):
I am not familiar with this book but there was no USS Melroy nor any HMS Melroy. I found one review of this book at WorthPoint that said the story was “based on fact” but I do not know how authoritative that is. I also saw that Amazon has a copy of the book available for $3,500.

Does anybody know how much of the book Mascot of the Melroy (a destroyer, book set in WW2 and apparently written by a sailor (Keith Robertson dedicates his book "to my mother and father who raised a sailor on the prairies" is true to life? I read and re-read this book as a kid. I had 9 members of my family in WW2, including sailors, but they are all gone now.
