Threadfin Operational Timeline
31 Mar 1945 | United States submarines operating off Kyushu received orders to form a wolfpack consisting of USS Silversides, USS Threadfin, and USS Hackleback. Unit commander would be the commanding officer of USS Silversides, Cdr J.C. Nichols, and thus the wolfpack would be known as "Nicks Nippers." |
6 Apr 1945 | USS Hackleback and USS Threadfin made radar contact with the Japanese force centered around battleship Yamato. Hackleback attempted to close on the force but was driven away by escorting destroyers. Both submarines broadcast a report of the enemy task force. |
