Nothing appears to have happened in re: the U.S. Navy on TUES 13 APR 1943.

In the ocean of air, however:

The Wiki indicates:
13: Radio Berlin announces the discovery by Wehrmacht of mass graves of Poles purportedly killed by Soviets in the Katyn massacre.
And the Chronology of World War II advises:
