The submarine was baptized [by] by the wife of Admiral Ralph W. Christie[/]
After tests and exercises, he sailed September 18, 1943 from New London and then arrived 14. October to Pearl Harbor.
The first war voyage for this submarine begins 4. November 1943, the first destination is Johnston Island, where he refuels and 6. November continues to the area south of the island of Truk, where it was to participate "Operation Galvanic", which was to result in the conquest of the island of Tarawa.
There were two more submarines in the area at that time USS Blackfish (SS-221) a USS Drum (SS-228). The submarines received a message that a Japanese submarine was heading for the area and needed to be stopped, but on the other hand they had to realize that they were in the area of a sister submarine. Therefore, USS Blackfish (SS-221) preferred not to attack when she allegedly saw a submarine that she could not safely identify as Japanese.


However, no news had been received or seen since Corvina's departure from Johnston Island.
30. November 1943 the submarine was ordered to sail to the island of Tulagi, but did not appear there.
23. December 1943 was declared lost.


Post-war records of the Japanese Navy contain information that the submarine I-176 caught November 16, 1943 on the surface of the US submarine and torpedoes destroyed it.


It is said that SS-226 USS Corvina is the only US submarine sunk by a Japanese submarine


THE NATIONAL STATE HAS BECAME A PATRONATE STATE
