The Fremantle-based US Ships RASHER, HAKE, and HARDER, (submarines), sank a Japanese destroyer and a tanker, and evacuated commandos from Borneo. HAKE torpedoed the destroyer KAZEGUMO off Mindanao, RASHER torpedoed the tanker SHIOYA in the Celebes Sea, and HARDER picked up seven Australian commandos from a beach in North Borneo.
