I iw f After the Battle of the Coral Sea, CHICAGO 5 support group was returned to MacArthur's Navy of which it then was the principal strength.

The plane made an observed reconnaissance flight over Port jackson, and the midget submarines were launched off Sydney Harbor 31 May 1942. One of two were detected by fishermen and a magnetic underwater loop as they made their way up the channel after dark. At 2257 lookouts in CHICAGO sighted a con- ning tower awash at 300 yards on her starboard quarter. She illuminated the target and opened fire with her 5-inch battery and machine guns. But the guns could not be depressed for so short a range as ro be effective. Some shots richocheted into a residential section of Sydney, where fortu- nately, they did not damage anything. A humor- ist invented the st-wry that the,.only casualty in- flicted by CI-IICAC-C's guntite was a lion in the famous Sydney Zoo. The yarn further exaggerat- ed in stating that Captain Bode of CHICAGO was requested to provide a new one out of lend-lease funds. The midget submarine dived as American de- stroyer FERKINS and two Australian corvettes took up the search. When danger seemed past, PERKINS picked up her old buoy inshore of CHICAGO, who thought she had holed the only midget submarine present. Near an hour past midnight of 31 may-01 june 1942, the wake of a torpedo, evidently aimed at CHICAGO, was observed to pass close aboard the cruiser. It went under a Dutch submarine and barracks boat and detonated with a great roar against the dock. The force of the explosion blew the bottom out of a barracks boat, killing a num- ber of sailors and left it a total loss. Destroyer PERKINS resumed patrol and sent her boats to fight fires and rescue the wounded. At 0215, 1 june 1942, CHICAGO and PER- KINS stood out for sea. The cruiser was close to South Head gas buoy, when a submarine peri- scope was sighted close aboard to starboard, go- ing in the opposite direction. The periscope was so close that one almost looked down vertically from CHICAGO's bridge. Whether this midget submarine had already been in and out, or was entering the harbor For the First time, is not known. During the day, two damaged and scut- tled midgets, complete with the bodies of their crewmembers were discovered on the bottom of Sydney Harbor. I Rf. Assorted .Nets Czgars .Qzyfltiettesr
