  Thresher
Quickly reappraising the situation, Thresher immediately went deep to avoid the attentions of "friendly forces." She again tried to enter the harbor on the 8th, but was driven off by depth-bombs from a patrol plane, before Thornton (AVD-11) finally arrived to provide safe-conduct for the submarine at midday on the 8th.
Thresher observed two hits; and the vessel, with her bow in the air, was observed in a sinking condition.
Thresher's commander postulated that the enemy vessel was bound for Daisei Gunto and accordingly plotted course to intercept the enemy vessel before she could reach that destination, some three hours later.
