In [b:86274812b0]August 1943[/b:86274812b0] proběly the usual tests and exams near New London [b:86274812b0]6.October 1943[/b:86274812b0] set sail [i:86274812b0]SS-248 Dorado[/i:86274812b0] of New London. According to the plan she had [b:86274812b0]14. October[/b:86274812b0] sailed to Panama and then sail through the canal.
The same day launched a search operation and all what we found was an oil slick and some debris.

Her fate remains a mystery, but indicates that the seaplane PBM Mariner from the base of Guantanamo in Cuba 20:49 local time bombed one unidentified submarine, after having received the wrong instructions on the location of the target.
(Seaplane found in the area about two hours later, allegedly still one other submarine, which also attacked)

Further in the area was the German submarine[i:86274812b0] U-214 [/i:86274812b0]which put [b:86274812b0]13.October 1943[/b:86274812b0] 15 min near the port of Colon - near the entrance to the panama canal (so it is possible that the submarine became the victim of booby trap mines)

PATRONÁTNÍM STATE BECAME THE STATE OF KANSAS

Dorado should also appoint [i:86274812b0]SS-526[/i:86274812b0] (class Tench) but its construction was eventually, though he was already laid the keel, [b:86274812b0]29.July 1944 [/b:86274812b0]cancelled
