"When I assumed command of the Pacific Fleet on 31 December 1941 our submarines were already
operating against the enemy, the only units of the Fleet that could come to
grips with the Japanese for months to come. It was to the Submarine force that
I looked to carry the load until our great industrial activity could produce
the weapons we so sorely needed to carry the war to the enemy. It is to the
everlasting honor and glory of our submarine personnel that they never failed
us in our days of great peril." (Admiral Chester W. Nimitz)
