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 Honshū and Hokkaidō, 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.

“I don’t know.
When my lover
comes to me
and says such loving things,
do all my parts
become eyes
or ears?”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
