History

Stingray holds the record for the most war patrols (16) of any American submarine. For her twelfth war patrol Stingray was occupied in a special mission landing fifteen Filipino officers and six tons of supplies on the northeastern coast of Luzon. On the way back to Port Darwin on 18 August 1944 she picked up four Japanese sailors from a cruiser, sunk earlier in the day by the submarine Hardhead. Stingray reached Port Darwin on 7 September 1944.,
