| MILI | died in World War II in the Navy Service Number - 829 27 74 Japanese minesweeper and the three-stack [[Thailand|Siam]]ese destroyer ''[[Phra Ruang]]''. It was later found out to be [[Kaibokan CD-22]] and PB-102 (ex-{{USS|Stewart|DD-224}}). As ''Hake'' closed to attack, the destroyer turned away toward Dasol Bay. ''Hake'' broke off her approach, turned northward, and sighted ''Harder'''s periscope about {{convert|600|-|700|yd|m}} dead ahead. Swinging southward, ''Hake'' then sighted the CD-22 about {{convert|2000|yd|m|-2}} off her port quarter swinging toward them. To escape the charging escort, ''Hake'' started deep and rigged for [[Silent running (submarine)|silent running]]. At 07:28 she heard 15 rapid depth charges explode in the distance astern. She continued evasive action that morning, then returned to the general area of the attack shortly after noon. She swept the area at periscope depth but found only a ring of marker buoys covering a radius of one-half mile. The vigorous depth charge attack had ended the career of ''Harder'' with all hands. The Japanese report of the attack concluded that "much oil, wood chips, and cork floated in the vicinity." Dubbed "Hit 'Em Again, ''Harder''," she had wreaked havoc among Japanese shipping. Her record of aggressive daring exploits became almost legendary. All six of her patrols were designated successful. ''Harder'' received six [[battle star]]s and the Presidential Unit Citation for [[World War II]] service. In accordance with Navy custom, the citation was presented to the [[USS Harder (SS-568)|second ''Harder'']] upon commissioning. ''Harder''{{'}}s loss brought an end to the U.S. submarine force's happy time, and the demoralization of the submarine force boosted Japanese morale, confident that as a result of these, more U.S. submarines will be lost while Japanese shipbuilding would easily catch up with shipping losses, and thus returning the tide of the war in favour of the Japanese. Despite the losses, towards the end of the war U.S. submarines were actively penetrating through the Inland Sea, and the Japanese shipping losses continued, albeit at a slower rate. [1, 2, 3] | |
