have been resting on the bottom. The second ship was obscured by the first. S-32 went to and proceeded out of the bay. At 12:05, she resumed her patrol east of Onekotan Strait. That evening, she began her return voyage to the Aleutians, and on 27 October 1942 she arrived at Dutch Harbor. November 1942–February 1943 From Dutch Harbor, S-32 returned to San Diego, which she reached on 11 November 1942. An overhaul there followed, and from 21 to 25 December 1942 she tested newly installed equipment — a fathometer, radar, and keel-mounted sound gear. From 28 December 1942 to 26 January 1943, she provided services to the West Coast Sound School. On 6 February 1943, she headed north toward Dutch Harbor. Sixth war patrol S-32 departed Dutch Hatbor on her sixth war patrol on 25 February 1943. En route to her assigned patrol area off Attu, she encountered very rough seas, strong winds, rain, mist, and fog. On 26 February 1943, she rolled as much as 65 degrees to starboard. Progress west was slow, but, on 1 March 1943 she set a course toward Holtz Bay on the northeast coast of Attu to check for Japanese shipping there. On 2 March 1943, heavy mist and fog hindered her reconnaissance of Stellar Cove, but she turned to the shipping lanes along the coast of Attu to intercept Japanese ships between Cape Wrangell and Holtz Bay. The entrances to Holtz Bay, Chichagof Harbor, and Sarana Bay, were her primary hunting grounds. On the night of 9 March 1942, off Holtz Bay, she attacked and damaged an Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer, then underwent a brief depth charging. The depth charging caused leaks, but her crew minimized them, and S-32 continued her patrol. Four nights later, on 13 March 1943, S-32 attacked Japanese submarine which was lying to on the surface with her engines smoking north of Holtz Bay. At 20:59, S-32 launched two torpedoes at the Japanese submarine at ten-second intervals. At 21:00, she went deep, and as she passed , one torpedo exploded. At 21:20, S-32 came to periscope depth, but fog had closed in and the Japanese submarine was no longer visible. On the afternoon of 15 March 1943, S-32 sighted another Japanese submarine. For the first time during S-32′s patrol, according to her crew, the weather was "perfect for a periscope approach." At 17:27, S-32 fired a three-torpedo spread
