| Keywords: portrait people monochrome indoor Lot-9427-10: Original caption, “A Submarine Officer’s Dream Comes True. To sight an enemy airplane carrier in the moonlight is a submarine officer’s dream. It came true for Lieutenant Commander Richard G. Voge, Commanding Officer of USS Sailfish (SS 192)who sighted a huge Japanese carrier at night in the waters off the Netherlands East Indies, and who himself, in a daring attack, launched the torpedoes.” The carrier he hit was Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga, which was hit by two torpedoes but did not sink. Note, Sailfish was formerly USS Squalus which sank off Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in May 1939. Kaga would soon be sunk at the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942.
