 The Boats - WW II U.S. Submarine War in the Pacific (1941-1945)
In the period following the end of the World War II, it was determined that the valiant effort on the part of the US submarine fleet was, in a large part, directly responsible for the severe shortage of raw materials and supplies which were so desperately needed by Japan.
With the required range, speed and armament, the Tambors were the last of the US submarines to be commissioned before the start of the war with Japan.
Modeled after the German U-Boats, the US produced the first of a series of subs originally thought to meet the fleet boat criteria.

Since most of the U.S. Battle Fleet had been destroyed at Pearl Harbor, carriers and submarines had become the primary offensive weapon against Japan in the early part of the war.

Designed to counter Soviet high-speed snorkel-equipped diesel submarines similar to the German World War II-era Type-XXIs, Carpenter was equipped with a trainable Hedgehog, two Weapon Alfa anti-submarine rocket launchers, anti-submarine torpedoes, and numerous depth charges, in addition to torpedo countermeasure equipment, towed decoys and an improved sonar system.
Starting in January 1963 the destroyer conducted numerous training exercises off Hawaii, including submarine target services and a training mission with Canadian frigates Beacon Hill (FFE-303) and Jonquiere (FFE-318).
During those evolutions, Carpenter conducted ASW patrols to keep Soviet submarines from observing the tests in between her duties as plane guard for Rendova (CVE-114), whose planes flew patrol and reconnaissance missions in the region.
