History
During her first two war patrols in December of 1941 and the spring of 1942, she ran supplies to the American and Filippino troops besieged on the Bataan Peninsula and Corregidor Island. In a night action in the Molucca Strait on 3 February 1942, she torpedoed a Japanese destroyer and claimed her first victim of the war. Searaven conducted her third war patrol in the vicinity of Timor Island of the Netherlands East Indies, from 2 to 25 April 1942. On the 18-19 April 1942, she rescued 33 Royal Australian Air Force men from enemy held Timor. Searaven arrived in Darwin on 19 January 1942 to load supplies, dropping anchor next to Perch and Otus.,
