ww2dbaseGuavina was commissioned at the end of 1943 with Lieutenant Commander Carl Tiedeman in command. After shakedown and training, she joined the Pacific War on 6 Apr 1944 as it departed for her first war patrol. She went on six patrols during the course of the Pacific War, sinking 8 transports and 5 smaller ships and rescuing many survivors, which included both American aviators and Japanese sailors. After the war, she underwent extensive overhaul and became a submarine and aircraft oiler serving mostly in the Caribbean Sea. She was sunk as a target by submarine Cubera off Cape Henry, Virginia, United States in 1967.

Hi.
The U.S.S Guavina arrived in Pearl Harbour from Panama (after training) on March 12, 1944 and joined the Pacific War then. Not on 5 April 1945 as stated above. My father, Ed Burke, served on this Sub as a Torpedoman Fist Class.

Dennis Burke (above):
Your date of Guavina’s arrival at Pearl Harbor is correct but the prologue of her first war patrol report says she then “conducted training until 5 April 1944.” Her War History lists 6 Apr 1944 as the date she departed on her first war patrol. Thanks for making us think, but that’s what we found.

My Father was aboard Guavina from late 1944 until the end of the War in 1945. Joe Cooper, Electricians mate, he was on her for the depth charging which resulted in her return to Mare Island for a major refit. I'm trying to find more information about yhat incident, as he never spoke of his wartime experiences.
