Remembering USS Argonaut SS-166
In December 1942, Argonaut departed Brisbane on her fourth war patrol. She was assigned to patrol in the hazardous area between New Britain and Bougainville, south of St. George’s Channel. On 10 January 1943 Argonaut spotted a convoy of five freighters and their destroyer escorts. An Army aircraft was by chance flying overhead and witnessed Argonaut’s attack.
