Submarine Attack #21
The main story, "The Skipper Calls the Shots," follows a submarine crew under Captain Kirby's command as they undertake a dangerous mission to tow a Manila Line vessel to safety. When water begins leaking into the cable haul brought aboard from the abalone, the crew must work quickly to secure it and prevent disaster. After successfully completing the haul, Kirby meets with naval officers on a submarine tender, where they discuss strategy for striking Japanese forces, ultimately deciding to target Sumatra and shell an ammunition dump in that area rather than attack Borneo.
