On November 5, 1944, a hometown newspaper reported that Electrician’s Mate First Class Ansel Sampson was leaving his parents’ home to report for another assignment. Behind that brief announcement lay five war patrols aboard USS Rasher (SS-269), one of America’s most successful World War II submarines.
This episode of Patrol Reports follows Rasher’s opening campaigns, from the waters of present-day Indonesia to the devastating attacks on convoy HI-71 off the Philippines. Through Sampson’s service, we remember the electricians and other technical specialists whose work kept the boat fighting, and the millions of Americans who came home on leave, then returned to duty while the war continued.
Sampson went on Eternal Patrol in 1975. His story preserves one life behind the Silent Service’s wartime record.
