History
On her first war patrol on 3 January 1942 Skipjack fired three torpedos at an enemy submarine which resulted in two explosions but a sinking could not be confirmed. She refueled at Balikpapan in Borneo on 4 January and arrived at Port Darwin for a refit on 14 January. Skipjack's second war patrol was conducted in the Celebes Sea and was uneventful with the exception of an unsuccessful attack on a Japanese carrier. She returned to Fremantle on 10 March 1942.,
