 USS Parche (SS 384) Plaque Dedication
The submarine being honored was the USS Parche (SS 384) and the man in charge was Cmdr. Lawson P. (Red) Ramage, a man who’s fierce courage and deadly warrior-like ferocity belied his carrot-topped, baby-faced looks.
At 3:00 a.m., morning of the 31st, Steelhead was boring in on the attack.
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.

 Submarine Hero - Lawson P. "Red" Ramage   (Site not responding. Last check: )
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.
Meanwhile, Whelchel, in Steelhead, returned to the fray on the other side of the convoy and sank at least one more ship before being forced under by hostile aircraft at first light.
And for his utter fearlessness, daring, and extraordinary tactical skill in successfully challenging an entire Japanese convoy to a night surface action, "Red" Ramage was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by a grateful nation.

At a Submarine Officer's Conference, attended by former ComSubPac Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, it is decided to dispose of all captured Japanese submarines by sinking.
The plan, supposedly concocted by Nazi Reichsfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler, called for the Japanese to attack the West Coast cities with radiological “dirty” bombs.
The radioactive material for the bombs was to be delivered in late 1944 by I-52 on her return voyage to Japan, but she was sunk in the Atlantic on her outbound leg in June 1944.
