Oregon Attack: So Much For The
Larry Doheny

TUE 6 OCT 1942
Pacific
U.S. tanker Larry Doheny is torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-25 off the coast of Oregon, 42°20'N, 125°02'W, and abandoned. Two of the ship's 34-man merchant complement die in the attack, as do four of the 8-man Armed Guard. Small seaplane tender Coos Bay (AVP-25) rescues the survivors. Larry Doheny sinks the next morning.
