A Chief Torpedoman aboard USS Griffin AS-13 paints another "hashmark" on the Torpedo Shop scoreboard of Japanese ships claimed sunk by SubRon 5's "S-Boats", operating out of Brisbane, Australia, during April-November 1942. The original caption dates the photo 7 January 1943, but it may have been taken earlier, as Griffin left Australia in November 1942.
