American Submarines
American wolfpacks, officially called coordinated attack groups, usually comprised three boats that patrolled in close company and organized before they left port under the command of the senior captain of the three. "Swede" Momsen devised the tactics and led the first American wolfpack — composed of Cero (SS-225), Shad (SS-235), and Grayback (SS-208) — from Midway on 1 October 1943.
