An item reported that the American destroyer USS Drayton attacked an enemy submarine in the Hawaii area on 8 January probably with success. A day later was a submarine attacked south of Oahu and believed to be damaged. It was believed that there were just a few enemy submarines were present in the area and R.D.F. intelligence suggested several submarines going westward. Prior to 10 December were six large enemy submarines excluded the so-called midget type attacked by American forces in the Hawaii area one was certainly damaged and two others probably although none was sunk.
