1943年9月,美国海军上将尼米兹决定在太平洋中部发动一次新的战役,其目的是消灭日本部署在那里的有生力量,把日本军队从太平洋中部赶出去。这次重大的军事行动被美国命名为“电流”战役。为了配合“电流”战役,太平洋舰队司令部派遣了“帆鱼”号等10艘潜艇前往太平洋中部。这些潜艇的任务主要是从事侦察活动,并且伺机对驰援的日本海军舰艇和运输船只发起攻击,削弱日军海上战斗力,截断日军的海上补给线。1943年11月21日,美国海军对吉尔伯特群岛发起了进攻。战役开始之后,“帆鱼”号潜艇被部署在日本本土至特鲁克群岛之间的海上主要航线附近,准备截击在那里过往的日本舰艇和运输船只。

In September 1943, U.S. Admiral Nimitz decided to launch a new campaign in the central Pacific whose purpose was to eliminate the existing force deployed by Japan and to expel Japanese troops from the Central Pacific. This major military operation was named “current” by the United States. To tie in with the “current” campaign, the Pacific Fleet Command dispatched 10 submarines such as Sailing to the central Pacific Ocean. The submarine’s mission is mainly engaged in reconnaissance activities, and an opportunity to attack the Japanese naval vessels and transport boats to aid the attack, weakening the Japanese maritime combat effectiveness, cut off the Japanese sea supply line. On November 21, 1943, the U.S. Navy attacked the Gilbert Islands. After the battle began, the “Sailfish” submarine was deployed near the main maritime route between Japan’s mainland and the Trourks, preparing to intercept the passing Japanese warships and shipping vessels there.
