ww2dbaseUSS Dragonet was commissioned into service on 6 Mar 1944. She arrived at Pearl Harbor, US Territory of Hawaii and embarked on her first war patrol, but she would strike an uncharted underwater obstacle south of Matsuwa, Hokkaido, Japan in the Kurile Islands, forcing her to end her first war patrol early. After receiving temporary repairs at Midway Atoll and permanent repairs at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, California, United States, she returned to Pearl Harbor in Apr 1945. On her second war patrol, she acted in the role of lifeguard, rescuing four downed US Army aviators south of Japan. Her third war patrol, which was designated as successful, took her into the Japanese home islands in the final days of the war. She was decommissioned in 1946.
