Sunk June 14, 1944 - 82 Men Lost.
In the reports covering Japanese antisubmarine attacks, made since war’s end, one is recorded as having been on June 14, 1944. This attack is considered to explain GOLET’s loss, since the enemy, in his report, states, “On the spot of fighting we later discovered corks, raft, etc., and heavy oil pool of 50 by 5,200 meters.” GOLET was credited with no sinkings or damage to enemy ships on her first patrol, conducted in the Kuriles and the area south of Hokkaido and east of Honshu.
The U.S. Submarine Veterans of World War II assigned USS Golet (SS-361) to the State of Louisiana.
