northcoastaero Posted October 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2016 I am trying to find out the name(s) of the submarine(s) that were on station for lifeguard duty around Santa Cruz, Zambales on Luzon in the Philippine Islands on November 25, 1944. The submarine(s) may have gone by the code name Mellow Moon. Also, may have relieved the USS Cod (SS-224) and USS Ray (SS-271) around the middle of November? Any help would be appreciated. Thank-you.
