Don't shoot, I'm only the editor

 * "She left Midway again 19 March, bound for Tokyo. During the entire patrol, with 26 days on station, she sighted only four torpedo targets, and launched only two attacks, both under adverse conditions. Two-thirds of the time the ship had to fight extremely rough and stormy weather. She returned to Midway 5 May and to Pearl Harbor five days later."

 * "She left Midway again 19 March, bound for Tokyo. During the entire patrol, with 26 days on station, she sighted only four torpedo targets, one of them a submariner's dream, an aircraft carrier, identified as Shokaku. Pompano fired six torpedoes at long range (4000yd, 3659m), and was credited with damage for 28900 tons. She made only one other attack, spent two-thirds of the patrol fighting rough weather, and returned to Midway 5 May, then to Pearl Harbor five days later."

Query RE outdated reference
The reference/link to Whitman's book about Slade Cutter is either no longer valid, or no longer online. I formally propose it for deletion, unless it can be found to still be on the web....
