At Midway Atoll
The ‘wolfpack’ was formed when the Grayback, U.S.S. Cero, and Shad joined at Midway Atoll. The tactic of combining submarines to work together has proved to be highly successful when used by German U-boats, and the ‘wolfpack’ was no different.
The Three Subs
The three subs, known as the ‘wolfpack,’ were extremely effective and accounted for the sinking of more than 38,000 tons of Japanese crafts while severely damaging a further 3,300 tons. Once using up all of the subs’ torpedoes, the wolfpack returned to Midway Atoll.
