		Departing Guam on 11 Mar 1945, USS Trigger I (SS-237), under the command of CDR D. Connole, headed for the Nansei Shoto area to conduct her twelfth war patrol during WWII.
		On 25 March she was to move west and patrol between 29!N and 31!N west of the Nansei Shoto chain, remaining clear of restricted areas and outside the 100 fathom curve.
		Since she knew the position of the enemy restricted area containing mines, and had been told to keep clear of it, it is extremely doubtful that Trigger's loss was due to a mine.
