Seventh War Patrol
Cero, now commanded by Raymond Berthrong, shoved off for action from Pearl Harbor once more 31 March 1945, on her seventh and most productive war patrol. Cruising off HonshÅ« and HokkaidÅ, she not only provided lifeguard services for air strikes on Japan, but sank two picket boats and damaged a third, as well as sending three freighters and a large trawler to the bottom.

Famous quotes containing the words seventh and/or war:
“My bangles left.
My best friends, tears,
went on forever.
My self-control
wouldnt sit still for a minute.
My mind made itself up
to go on ahead.
When my man
made up his mind to go,
everything else went,
just like him.
Life,
if you must go, too,
then dont forsake
your entourage of friends.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“... But if you shrink from being scared,
What would you say to war if it should come?
Thats what for reasons I should like to know
If you can comfort me by any answer.
Oh, but wars not for children its for men.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
