The new missions mirror the above thirteen recons.Įach mission requires recons at more than one location. On all but one of the recons, two PRISIC photographers went on the mission. If Nimitz and ComSubPac agreed to do it, personnel from PRISIC (Photographic Reconnaissance and Interpretation Section Intelligence Center) were assigned to outfit the submarine with the necessary equipment and convert a section of the sub (usually the lower sound room) into a darkroom and laboratory. (As happened at Truk, sending air recon units often tipped off the Japs and they would move their fleet units to safe harbors and fortify defensive positions.) Nimitz would confer with ComSubPac to determine if a submarine was available to do the job and if the circumstances justified the risk.
How it generally worked was the Commander Amphibious Forces would make a request to Admiral Nimitz to have a submarine conduct a recon at an area under consideration for amphibious assault. With the exceptions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, they were all conducted in the Micronesia islands, starting in the Gilberts and ending at Palau. There were only thirteen formal submarine photographic reconnaissance missions. Theodore Roscoe's book has a great discussion of submarine photographic reconnaissance during the Pacific War. I added thirteen new historically accurate photo recon missions. All stock photo recons have been removed. I also referred to the official submarine war patrol reports resource listed in my bibliography. These missions are based on sources listed in the my bibliography, specifically Guerrilla Submarines, Allied Intelligence Bureau: Our Secret Weapon in the War Against Japan, United States Submarine Operations in World War II, The Coast Watchers, and Sink ‘Em All. There are also several early war resupply missions from Pearl Harbor to Corregidor and one other location in the Philippine islands. In the Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod, I replaced all the stock personnel insertion and supply missions with missions that mirror the Fremantle-based Spyron and Allied Intelligence Bureau missions in the Philippine Archipelago, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Netherlands East Indies, Southeast Asia, and the Solomon Islands. Only one failed when the Seawolf was lost to friendly fire in September 1944. By the end of the war, nineteen different submarines undertook forty-two Spyron missions to the Philippines. On the night of January 14, 1943, Gudgeon put the men and supplies safely ashore on Negros Island. On December 27, 1942, captained by Lieutenant Commander William Stovall, the Gudgeon embarked Major Jesus Villamor, six other Filipinos, and a ton of supplies including weapons, a radio, money, medicines, candy, and cigarettes, and departed Brisbane for the Philippines. The first mission was carried out by the USS Gudgeon (SS-211). Parson's operations were carried out by means of special missions assigned to various submarines. He placed Commander Charles 'Chick' Parsons in charge of the Spyron initiative to contact, organize, and supply American and Filipino guerrilla fighters across the Philippine islands. The Spyron activity was authorized in late 1942 by General Douglas MacArthur.
