The Submarine That Went Home Sick, USS Hardhead |

On June 18, 1945, USS Hardhead left Fremantle, Australia, on her fifth war patrol, headed for the dangerous waters of the Java Sea. Four days later, she spotted a Japanese freighter and blasted it with her deck gun, leaving the vessel badly damaged. The next day, Hardhead joined forces with her sister sub, USS Bullhead, for a daring assault near Ambat Roads.
