   After losing two boats last week, the submarine skippers became very cauitious. Despite of nine submarines on patrol only S-33 achieved success. She was patroling good hunting ground on the north part of China Sea, when noted smoke on the horizont. She attacked after dusk, hitting two targets. Big 5000 tons maru sunk quickly, but another small vessel refuse to sink, despite of heavy damages and fire.  

This week total: 1 ship sunk, 5000 tons
