After several unsuccessful pursuits, Parche drew her first blood on 4 May in a joint attack on a Japanese convoy in which two sinkings were credited to Ramage and his men, for a total of 11,700 tons.
For six weeks after leaving Midway on 17 June, the group had little success in locating the enemy, and their only kill was a small patrol craft sunk by Ramage with his deck gun.
On 30 July, however, Hammerhead encountered a large convoy and moved in to attack after attempting to send its position to the other two boats.

These eight former shipmates were on hand to pay tribute with a plaque dedication to their captain, their submarine and the historic battle they took part in on a hot summer evening in July 1944.
The submarine being honored was the USS Parche (SS 384) and the man in charge was Cmdr. Lawson P. (Red) Ramage, a man whose fierce courage and deadly warrior-like ferocity belied his carrot-topped, baby-faced looks.
Her keel was laid on April 9, 1943 and three months later, on July 24, Miss Betty Russell, daughter of the U.S. District Judge Robert Lee Russell, formerly Judge Advocate General of the Navy, smashed the traditional bottle of champagne across the bow as she slid into the water for the first time.
