Summary
| Description |
English: Captain Ralph W. Christie, USN, Commander Task Force 42 and Submarine Squadron Five (left) congratulates Lieutenant Commander John R. Moore, USN, Commanding Officer of USS S-44 (SS-155), as he returned to this South Pacific base after a very successful week of patrol activity. (quoted from original World War II photo caption) The original caption date is 1 September 1942, which is presumably a release date. S-44 returned to Brisbane, Australia, on 23 August 1942 at the end of a war patrol in the Solomon Islands, during which she sank the Japanese heavy cruiser Kako. The photograph was probably taken at about that time.
