'''Roger Federer''' (born [[August 8]], [[1981]]) is a [[Switzerland|Swiss]] [[tennis]] [[professional]], currently ranked [[List of ATP number 1 ranked players|World No. 1]]. Many experts and many of his own tennis peers believe Federer may be the greatest player in the history of the game.<ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Roddick: Federer might be greatest ever | date=[[2005-07-03]] | publisher= | url =http://www.usatoday.com/sports/tennis/wimb/2005-07-03-roddick-marvels_x.htm | work =The Associated Press | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Federer inspires comparisons to all-time greats | date=[[2004-09-12]] | publisher= | url =http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/tennis/specials/us_open/2004/09/12/bc.ten.stevewilstein.ap/index.html | work =The Associated Press | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=4-In-A-Row For Federer | date=[[2006-07-09]] | publisher= | url =http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/07/09/sportsline/main1786534.shtml | work =The Associated Press | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | first=Pritha | last=Sarkar | coauthors= | title=Greatness beckons Federer | date=[[2005-07-04]] | publisher= | url =http://www.rediff.com/sports/2005/jul/04wimb1.htm | work =Reuters | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | first=Bud | last=Collins | coauthors= | title=Federer Simply In a League of His Own | date=[[2005-07-03]] | publisher=MSNBC.COM | url =http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8455431 | work = MSNBC Website | pages = | accessdate = 2007-04-09 | language = }}</ref>

'''USS ''Seadragon'' (SS-194)''', a [[Sargo class submarine|''Sargo''-class]] [[submarine]], was the first ship of the [[United States Navy]] to be named for the [[seadragon]], a small fish more commonly called the [[dragonet]].

Federer has won ten [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] men's singles titles in 32 appearances, three [[Tennis Masters Cup]] titles, and 13 [[ATP Masters Series]] titles. In 2004, the Swiss became the first man since [[Mats Wilander]] in 1988 to win three of four Grand Slam singles tournaments in the same year: the [[Australian Open]], [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] and [[U.S. Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]]. In 2006, he became the first and only [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Men.27s_Singles_3|man]] to repeat this feat and the first man in the [[Tennis Open Era|open era]] to win at least ten singles tournaments in three consecutive years (2004 to 2006).<ref name="atpweekly">{{cite news | first=Alison | last=Kim | coauthors= | title=Dominance at No. 1 | date=[[2006-11-12]] | publisher=ATPtennis.com | url =http://www.atptennis.com/5/en/media/ATW/2006/ATPTennisWeekly38.1.pdf | work =ATP Tennis Weekly | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref> He is also the only player to have won both the [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] and [[U.S. Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]] singles titles in three consecutive years (2004-2006). In 2007, when Federer won his third [[Australian Open]] title, he became the only male player to have won three separate Grand Slam tournaments at least three times.

Her keel was laid down on [[18 April]] [[1938]] by the [[Electric Boat]] Company of [[Groton, Connecticut]]. She was christened during an attempted [[ship naming and launching|launching]] on [[11 April]] [[1939]] sponsored by Mrs. J.O. Richardson, and [[ship commissioning|commissioned]] on [[23 October]] [[1939]] with Lieutenant John G. Johns in command.

Federer has been ranked No. 1 in the world since [[February 2]], [[2004]], and holds the all-time record for most consecutive weeks as the top-ranked male player.<ref>{{cite news | first=Roger | last=Federer | coauthors= | title=ATP - 161 Weeks: Competing With History | date=[[2007-02-26]] | publisher= | url =http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/news/newsdetail.cfm?uNewsID=506 | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-07 | language = }}</ref> On April 2, 2007, he was named [[Laureus World Sports Awards|Laureus World Sportsman of the Year]] for a record third consecutive time.

Following a shakedown cruise off the east coast and in the [[Caribbean Sea]], ''Seadragon'' returned to [[New England]] and, on [[23 May]] [[1940]], departed [[New London, Connecticut]], for the [[Philippine Islands]]. With Commander, Submarine Division 17 (ComSubDiv 17) embarked, she arrived at [[Cavite]] on [[30 November]] and commenced training operations as a unit of the [[Asiatic Fleet]]. A year later, she prepared for overhaul; and, by [[8 December]] [[1941]] ([[7 December]] east of the [[International Date Line]]), she had started her yard period at the [[Cavite Navy Yard]].

==Personal life==

Two days later, on [[10 December]], she and sister ship [[USS Sealion (SS-195)|''Sealion'']] (SS-195), moored together, were caught in an enemy air raid against [[Cavite]]. ''Sealion'' took a direct hit which demolished that submarine and damaged ''Seadragon''. The force of the explosion ripped off part of the latter's bridge. Shrapnel and splinters punctured her tanks and pierced her [[conning tower]], killing one and wounding five. The heat of the explosion scorched her hull and blistered her black paint.

Federer was born in the town of [[Binningen]] (near [[Basel]], [[Switzerland]]), to Swiss-German Robert Federer and South African Lynette Federer. He grew up 10 minutes from Basel proper, in suburban [[Münchenstein]]. Federer has an older sister, Diana.

He considers his main language [[German language|German]], but he also speaks [[French language|French]] and [[English language|English]] fluently.<ref name="askroger"> {{cite web |url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/fanzone/askroger/index.cfm |title=Ask Roger; Official Website |accessdate=2007-03-02}}</ref> He conducts press conferences in all three. Answering a frequently asked question about the proper pronunciation of his first name, Federer said: "As my mother comes from South Africa, my name has always been pronounced the English way."<ref name="askroger"/>

Fires and explosions raged along the wharf. A nearby torpedo shop went up and flames reached toward a lighter, loaded with torpedoes, alongside ''Seadragon'' and ''Sealion''. Submarine Rescue Vessel [[USS Pigeon (ASR-6)|''Pigeon'']] (ASR-6), however, disregarded the danger and moved in to tow ''Seadragon'' out into the channel, whence the submarine continued into [[Manila Bay]] under her own power.

As a boy, Federer was very emotional on the court and threw many tantrums, in contrast to his cool, calm playing style today. He admits to being kicked off the practice courts frequently. Federer was also a very talented soccer player. At one point, he considered becoming a professional soccer player but instead decided to make a career in tennis. He continues to support [[FC Basel]], his hometown club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tennis-x.com/fun/federerfile.php |title=Tennis-X looks into the game and life of tennis star Roger Federer |accessdate=2007-03-02 |date=2004-02-17 }}</ref> When he was younger, he liked to watch tennis player [[Marcelo Ríos]] in action.<ref>{{cite news | first=Scoop | last=Malinowski | coauthors= | title=Marcelo Rios: The Man We Barely Knew | date=[[2005-03-22]] | publisher= | url =http://www.sportsmediainc.net/tennisweek/index.cfm?func=showarticle&newsid=12629 | work =Tennis Week | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref>

Temporary repairs were accomplished by submarine tender [[USS Canopus (AS-9)|''Canopus'']] (AS-9) and ''Pigeon''; and, on the night of [[15 December]], she embarked members of the Asiatic Fleet staff. At 00:00, [[16 December]], she headed out of [[Manila Bay]].

Federer spends his off-court time at the beach, skiing, and playing [[card games]], [[table tennis]], soccer, and golf. He is a avid fan of [[Färjestads BK]], a Swedish Elite League ice-hockey team.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.farjestadsbk.se/showpage.asp?pid=1164557184 | title = Nu har FBK-supportern Federer fått tröjan| accessdate=2006-10-13}}</ref> He currently resides in Oberwil, Switzerland and is dating former [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]] player and fellow Swiss [[Miroslava Vavrinec]] (Mirka), who retired from tennis in 2002 after a foot injury. The two met at the [[2000 Sydney Olympics]]. <br />

Escorted by destroyer [[USS Bulmer (DD-222)|''Bulmer'']] (DD-222), ''Seadragon'' moved south, via [[Surigao Strait|Surigao]] and [[Makassar Strait]] to [[Soerabaja]], where she disembarked her passengers; received further repairs, exclusive of a paint job, and prepared for her first war patrol.

Along with Miroslava Vavrinec and a Swiss associate, Federer launched a fragrance and cosmetics line called [http://shop.rfcosmetics.com/default.asp?langext=3 ''RF Cosmetics''] in October 2003.<ref name="coachless"/>

His favorite vacation spots are the [[Maldives]], [[Dubai]], and the [[Swiss Alps|Swiss mountains]]. He is also friends with golf superstar [[Tiger Woods]], with Woods having attended some of Federer's events and Federer sometimes spotted in Woods' gallery during tournaments.<ref>{{cite news | first=Christopher | last=Clarey | coauthors= | title=Federer wins, continues match against history | date=[[2007-01-29]] | publisher= | url =http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2007/01/29/SPGE7NQMLI1.DTL | work =The New York Times | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref>

== First patrol, December 1941 &ndash; February 1942 ==

He co-established the Roger Federer Foundation in December 2003. Its goals include funding projects that benefit disadvantaged children, primarily in [[South Africa]], such as the charity [[IMBEWU]].<ref> {{cite web |url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/foundation/index.cfm |title=Roger Federer Foundation |accessdate=2007-03-02}}</ref> In January 2005, he encouraged efforts from tennis players for the people affected by the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|2004 Indian Ocean tsunami]], saying he would play as many matches as possible in tournaments organized to raise funds for the tsunami victims and auctioned off his autographed racquets to raise funds for [[UNICEF]]'s relief operations.<ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Tennis stars rally for UNICEF’s tsunami relief | date=[[2005-01-13]] | publisher=UNICEF.com | url =http://www.unicef.org/emerg/disasterinasia/index_24842.html | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref>

On [[30 December]], the [[submarine]] departed the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] naval base and set a course for the [[South China Sea]] to intercept Japanese shipping off the coast of [[Indochina]]. On [[8 January]], she was in the sea lanes to [[Cam Ranh Bay]]. Two days later, she sighted a destroyer, fired two torpedoes which missed, then watched as the destroyer continued on its course without attempting to attack the submarine. ''Seadragon'' remained in the area. Shortly after noon, a [[convoy]] was heard. One-half hour later, it was sighted, and the submarine began closing the last ship in the column. Shortly after 13:00, she fired; missed; and again tried to close to firing position. Within an hour, however, the convoy was safely into Cam Ranh Bay. ''Seadragon'' retired eastward. After dark while on the surface, recharging, she sighted a [[destroyer]] and attempted to slip away undetected. The destroyer spotlighted her. ''Seadragon'' went deep and worked her way eastward through two [[depth charge]] attacks.

On [[April 3]], [[2006]], Federer was appointed a [[List of UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors|Goodwill Ambassador]] to UNICEF,<ref>{{cite news | first=Sabine | last=Dolan | coauthors= | title=UNICEF’s newest Goodwill Ambassador, tennis star Roger Federer, hits an ace for children | date=[[2006-04-03]] | publisher=UNICEF.com | url =http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/usa_32007.html | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref> which helps poor children from all parts of the world. He made his first official trip as Goodwill Ambassador on [[December 23]], [[2006]], when he visited children in the [[India]]n state of [[Tamil Nadu]], a region devastated by the [[December 26]], [[2004]], [[2004 tsunami|tsunami]]. "It's amazing to see how young people are using the rebuilding process as an opportunity to improve their lives and strengthen their community," said Federer. "The way these children are bouncing back from even the toughest tragedy is a testament to their resilience."<ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Goodwill Ambassador Roger Federer sees tsunami recovery progress in Tamil Nadu | date= | publisher=UNICEF.com | url =http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/india_37885.html | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref>

She spent the morning of [[12 January]] evading Japanese patrol planes. In the afternoon, she closed a six-ship convoy; but, as she came to [[periscope]] depth for a final check, she was spotted from the air. Three salvos of bombs dropped close aboard, but ''Seadragon'' went deep and again made her way eastward&mdash;this time to investigate the cause of the plane sightings. She surfaced after 18:00. No oil or air leaks were spotted, but her black paint was coming off the entire hull. Red lead undercoating showed from the waterline to the side plating, and, "in spots", on the bow planes and propeller guards. In shallow tropical waters, her original black paint was easily spotted against a light colored background. With red showing, she stood out regardless of the color of the seabed. From then on, ''Seadragon'' ran at 140 feet between periscope exposures except in areas known to be patrolled by air. She then went to 200 feet.

Federer is the first living Swiss to be pictured on a postage stamp. The stamp was issued in April 2007, and shows Federer with the Wimbledon trophy. Switzerland does not normally depict persons on its stamps, except for historical figures.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6544335.stm | title= Swiss stamp honours Federer | accessdate=2007-04-22}}</ref>

On [[14 January]], she patrolled in the [[Cape Varella]] area. On [[15 January]], she shifted southward, and, on [[16 January]], she stood off [[Hon Lon]] to wait for a convoy. At 11:15, after a periscope observation, she was again spotted and bombed from the air. She returned to Cape Varella where the depth of the water permitted a closer patrol to the shore line.

== Career==

During the next six days, she sighted several targets but had no luck with her torpedoes. Early on [[23 January]], she sighted a four-ship convoy which she stalked until daylight, then attacked. At 08:06, she fired at the lead ship and scored with a hit on the port quarter. She then fired two at the ship and missed. The third and fourth ships ran off to the southeast and west respectively. The second ship moved in toward the first; then, listing to port and down by the stern accompanied it as it ran for the beach. ''Seadragon'' surfaced and went after the third ship, but the appearance of an enemy plane forced her to break off the attack.

===Juniors===

Federer started playing tennis at the age of six.<ref> {{cite web |url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/data/downloads/en/newslettersep04_eng.pdf |title=Fanletter September 2004 |last=Federer |first=Roger |date= September, 2004|format=PDF|accessdate=2007-06-30}}</ref> He started having tennis group practice at the age of nine and weekly private coaching when he was ten.

He joined the [[International Tennis Federation|ITF]] junior tennis circuit in July 1996.<ref> {{cite web |url=http://www.itftennis.com/juniors/teamcompetitions/16under/ | title =Junior Davis Cup and Junior Fed Cup by BNP Paribas - Overview |work=ITF tennis.com | accessdate = 2007-06-30 }}</ref>

In 1998, his final year as a junior, Federer won the [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] juniors title and the year-ending [[Orange Bowl (tennis)|Orange Bowl]]. He was recognized as the ITF World Junior Tennis champion for the year.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.itftennis.com/juniors/history/juniorworldchamps/index.asp |title=ITF Junior World Champions|work=ITF tennis.com|accessdate = 2007-06-30 }}</ref>

The submarine remained off the [[Indochina]] coast for another four days, then set a course back to [[Luzon]]. On [[29 January]], she began patrolling along the coast from [[Subic Bay]] to [[Lingayen Gulf]]. On [[1 February]], she took up station off [[San Fernando]] and, early on the morning of [[2 February]], conducted a night submerged attack on a five-ship convoy. ''Tamagawa Maru'', the fourth ship in line, went down, depriving the Japanese occupation force of a number of the reinforcement troops and the equipment she carried.

===Professional===

After the sinking, ''Seadragon'' patrolled southward. On [[4 February]], she arrived off [[Luzon Point]]; and, that night, she moved into [[Manila Bay]] to take on cargo and passengers at [[Corregidor]]. Mooring at 22:03, she completed loading torpedoes, radio equipment, and submarine spare parts at 03:00 on [[5 February]]. Shortly thereafter, she moved out; rested on the bottom until after dark, then surfaced to take on passengers. At 19:46, she got underway for the [[Netherlands East Indies]].

====Early years====

In July 1998, Federer joined the [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] tour at [[Gstaad]].<ref>{{cite web

====2001====

== Second patrol, March &ndash; April 1942 ==

Federer's first ATP tournament victory came in [[Milan]] in February 2001. During the same month, he won three matches for his country in its 3-2 [[Davis Cup]] victory over the United States. He later reached the quarterfinals at [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]], defeating four-time defending champion and seven-time Wimbledon champion [[Pete Sampras]] in the fourth round in a closely fought match, a victory that many consider to be a turning point of his career. He then lost to [[Tim Henman]] in the quarterfinal but finished the year ranked 13th.

====2002====

She arrived at [[Soerabaja]] on [[13 February]]. On [[21 February]], she left for [[Tjilatjap]], whence she was ordered on to [[Australia]]. She reached [[Fremantle, Western Australia|Fremantle]] on [[4 March]] and two weeks later, again headed for the [[Indochina]] coast for her second war patrol. At the end of the month, she was diverted to [[Cebu]] to take on fuel and food for [[Corregidor]]. On the evening of [[8 April]], she arrived off that besieged base. At 20:53, she moored alongside ''Pigeon'', to which she transferred fuel; offloaded seven tons of food; took on 21 passengers; and, at 21:29, she got underway to resume her patrol.

Federer reached his first [[ATP Masters Series]] (AMS) final at the [[Miami Masters]], where he lost to [[Andre Agassi]].<ref>{{cite web

====2003====

She remained in the waters off southwestern [[Luzon]] and recommenced her patrol off the entrance to [[Subic Bay]]. On [[11 April]], she sighted several targets but was able to attack only one, a patrolling destroyer. At 17:20, she fired three torpedoes. Twenty-nine seconds later the first torpedo exploded halfway to the target. The second torpedo broached and circled abeam of the target. The destroyer avoided the third torpedo. ''Seadragon'' changed course and went to 200 feet to avoid the circling torpedo and the expected depth charging. None of the depth charges was close, but a second destroyer soon joined the first, spotted the submarine as she came up for a periscope observation, and turned on her. ''Seadragon'' again went deep, then cleared the area.

Federer started 2003 by winning consecutive tournaments in [[Dubai]]<ref>{{cite web

On her third patrol, [[11 June]] to [[2 August]] [[1942]], ''Seadragon'' returned to the [[South China Sea]]. Arriving in her assigned area on [[27 June]], she patrolled along the [[Singapore]]-[[Hong Kong]] routes to the end of the month; then shifted to the [[Cape Varella]] area. On the morning of [[4 July]], she fired a torpedo at the leader of a three ship formation. The [[torpedo]] missed ahead, all three ships changed course toward ''Seadragon'' with the leader proceeding down the torpedo track firing her bow gun. Depth charges were dropped indiscriminately. Ten minutes later, the three had turned toward shore. ''Seadragon'' then shifted southward to intercept enemy traffic off [[Hon Lon Light]].

Throughout 2004, Federer did not have a coach, relying instead on his fitness trainer Pierre Paganini, physiotherapist Pavel Kovac, and a management team composed of his parents, his girlfriend [[Mirka Vavrinec]] (also his manager), and a few friends.<ref name="coachless">{{cite news | first=Greg | last=Boeck | coauthors= | title=Low-key Federer on top of world | date=[[2004-03-15]] | publisher= | url =http://www.usatoday.com/sports/tennis/2004-03-15-federer-focus_x.htm | work =USA Today | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-28 | language = }}</ref> In 2005, Federer hired former Australian tennis player [[Tony Roche]] to coach him on a limited basis.<ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Roche previously coached Lendl, Rafter | date=[[2005-01-04]] | publisher= | url =http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=1958514 | work =Reuters | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-28 | language = }}</ref>

A few hours later, she sighted two freighters and fired tubes 1 and 2 at the lead ship. Her No. 1 tube did not fire, and her No. 2 torpedo missed astern. Two more torpedoes were fired at the ships, but both missed. Enemy planes arrived on the scene soon afterward and for over two hours aerial depth charges in salvos of two and three were dropped. Despite water depth of 75 [[fathom]]s (137 m), submarines were visible at any depth against the light colored bottom.

====2005====

''Seadragon'' survived the close bombing and continued her patrol. During the next week, she attempted to close several ships, but was unable to attain attack positions. On the night of [[11 July]], her losing streak ended. Just prior to midnight, she sighted smoke and opened out to the westward to overtake the target. At 01:56 on [[12 July]], she began her approach; and, 14 minutes later, she fired three torpedoes. Two hit, but the third missed astern. A merchantman, ''Hiyama Maru'', began settling. By 02:19, she had been abandoned. ''Seadragon'' submerged and resumed her patrol eight miles northeast of [[Cape Varella]].

[[Image:Federer Wimbledon2005.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Federer at Wimbledon, 2005.]]

Federer reached the [[2005 Australian Open]] semifinals before falling to eventual winner [[Marat Safin]] in a five-set night match that lasted more than four hours.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/low/tennis/4207905.stm|title=Safin stuns Federer in epic semi|work=BBC Sport/Tennis|date=2005-01-27|accessdate = 2007-06-21}}</ref>

On the morning of [[13 July]], ''Seadragon'' torpedoed and sank her second victim of the patrol. ''Shinyo Maru'' was hit approximately 50 feet abaft the beam and settled immediately. ''Seadragon'' moved out of the area and hunted along the [[Haina Varella]] routes for a few days. On [[16 July]], she was back off Cape Varella; and, soon after 10:30, she fired on a four-ship convoy. Five minutes later, the torpedoes exploded on the beach. The four ships turned toward ''Seadragon'' and commenced firing their guns. ''Seadragon'' fired two more torpedoes and went deep. A few minutes later, she came to periscope depth. Only three ships remained on the surface. ''Hakodate Maru'' had been sunk.

Federer successfully defended his [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] title for the third consecutive year by defeating [[Andy Roddick]] in a rematch of the previous year's final.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/4643611.stm|author=Caroline Cheese|title=Federer seals Wimbledon hat-trick|date=2005-07-03|work=BBC Sport/Tennis|accessdate = 2007-06-21}}</ref> Federer also defeated Roddick in [[Cincinnati Masters|Cincinnati]] to take his fourth AMS title of the year (and sweep all the American AMS events) and become the first player in AMS history to win four titles in one season<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.atptennis.com/5/en/players/playerprofiles/highlights.asp?playernumber=F324 |title=Roger Federer - Profile|accessdate= 2007-06-21 }}</ref> (Nadal would also go on to win four Master's Series that year<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atptennis.com/3/en/players/playerprofiles/titles.asp?playernumber=N409|title=Player Profile-Rafael Nadal|accessdate= 2007-06-21 }}</ref> ).

On [[20 July]], ''Seadragon'' departed the South China Sea and made her way south to Australia.

He then dropped only two sets on route to his second consecutive [[U.S. Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]] title,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/4234164.stm|title=Peerless Federer retains US crown|work=BBC Sport/Tennis|date=2007-09-11|accessdate= 2007-06-21 }}</ref> defeating [[Andre Agassi]] in four sets in the final.

== Fourth patrol, August &ndash; October 1942 ==

====2006====

On [[26 August]], she departed her Australian base for her fourth war patrol and again set a course for the coast of Indochina. On [[10 September]], she moved through [[Apo East Pass]]. On [[11 September]], her progress into the South China Sea was delayed by an emergency [[appendectomy]] performed successfully on Seaman Darrell Rector by Pharmacist's Mate [[Wheeler B. Lipes]], the first such performed on a submarine. This incident was the subject of a [[Pulitzer Prize]]-winning account by ''[[Chicago Daily News]]'' reporter George Weller. In [[2005]], retired Lt. Cmdr. Lipes was awarded the [[Navy Commendation Medal]] for saving a fellow crewman's life.

Federer won three of the four [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] singles tournaments and ended the year ranked number one,<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2006 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> with his ranking points several thousand points greater than his nearest competitor's points.<ref> {{cite web|author=Caroline Cheese| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/6084812.stm |title=Federer's Magic Numbers |date=November 2006|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref>

Federer won the year's first Grand Slam tournament, the [[2006 Australian Open]], by defeating [[Cyprus|Cypriot]] [[Marcos Baghdatis]].<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2006 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> In March, Federer successfully defended his titles at the [[Indian Wells Masters|Indian Wells]]<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2006 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> and [[Miami Masters]]<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2006 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> and became the first player ever to win the Indian Wells-Miami double in consecutive years.

On [[12 September]], ''Seadragon'' arrived on station and commenced patrolling the steamer lanes west of [[Macclesfield Bank]]. At dusk on the [[16 September]], she headed for Cape Varella.

Not until [[22 September]], however, while off [[Cam Ranh Bay]] was she able to gain a firing position on a suitable target. On that morning, she fired four torpedoes at a [[cruiser]] escorted by two destroyers. No explosions were heard, but her torpedoes were seen, and the enemy ships turned on ''Seadragon'' and delivered a "well executed depth charge attack."

Had Federer won the [[2006 French Open]], he would have completed a [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Career Grand Slam|Career Grand Slam]] and become the first man since [[Rod Laver]] to hold all four Grand Slam singles titles at the same time, although he would have done so in a two-year schedule. He, however, lost in the final to defending champion Nadal in four sets.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2006 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> Although the clay Grand Slam title eluded him, he became one of only two then-active players who had reached the finals of all four Grand Slam singles tournaments, the other being [[Andre Agassi]].<ref> {{cite web|url=http://living.oneindia.in/celebrity/the-king-of-tennis-roger-federer.html |author=Nikita C Fernandes|title=The king of tennis: Roger Federer |work=oneIndia|accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref>

A week later, on the night of [[29 September]], the submarine tracked a five-ship convoy; and, at 0122 on [[30 September]] conducted a surface torpedo attack which damaged one ship. She then ran eastward to attain a position ahead of the convoy but was spotlighted by an escort which had shifted stations. ''Seadragon'' went deep; the escort dropped six depth charges and then rejoined the convoy. The submarine surfaced and attempted to make up for lost time. Three hours later, she had overheated her main motor cables and was forced to give up the chase.

Federer entered [[2006 Wimbledon Championships - Men's Singles|Wimbledon]] as the top seed and reached the final without dropping a set.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2006 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> There, Federer beat Nadal in four sets to win the championship.

On the evening of [[3 October]], ''Seadragon'' departed the [[South China Sea]] and, five days later, commenced patrolling the approaches to [[Balikpapan]]. On [[10 October]], she attained a position for a stern tube shot on ''Shigure Maru''. The cargoman disappeared 47 seconds after the first explosion. On [[11 October]], the submarine patrolled off [[Cape William]] and [[Cape Mandar]]. On [[12 October]], she was off [[Makassar City]]. On [[14 October]], she transited [[Lombok Strait]]; and, on [[20 October]], she returned to [[Fremantle, Western Australia|Fremantle]].

Federer then started his North American tour and won the 2006 [[Canada Masters|Rogers Cup]] in [[Toronto]], defeating [[Richard Gasquet]] of France in the final.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2006 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> In the year's last Grand Slam tournament, the [[2006 U.S. Open]], he defeated American [[Andy Roddick]] in four sets for his third consecutive title at the [[Flushing Meadows-Corona Park|Flushing Meadows]].<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2006 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref>

Refit was started by [[submarine tender]] [[USS Holland (AS-3)|''Holland'' (AS-3)]] at [[Fremantle, Western Australia|Fremantle]] and completed by tenders [[USS Griffin (AS-13)|''Griffin'']] (AS-13) and [[USS Fulton (AS-11)|''Fulton'']] (AS-11) at [[Brisbane]]. On [[23 November]], she departed the latter and headed for the [[Bismarck Archipelago]] for her fifth war patrol. On [[29 October]], she entered her area and commenced patrolling the [[Rabaul]]-[[Shortland]] routes. On [[1 December]], she closed the [[New Britain]] coast to intercept [[Buna]] traffic, and, during the next ten days, conducted several unsuccessful approaches on enemy formations. On the morning of [[11 October]], she sighted a freighter with one escort rounding [[Cape St. George]] and fired two torpedoes at the merchantman. One hit under the main mast, damaging but not sinking the target. The escort delivered a depth charge attack then took the damaged vessel under tow for [[Rabaul]]. Enemy planes prohibited ''Seadragon'' from delivering the 'coup de grace'.

In 2006, Federer lost to only two players: Nadal in the French Open final, Rome final, Monte Carlo final, and Dubai final; and [[Andy Murray (tennis player)|Andy Murray]] in the second round of the [[Cincinnati Masters]]. The loss to Murray was Federer's only straight-sets loss of the year. The Cincinnati tournament was the only tournament of the year in which he did not reach the final.<ref name="activity"/>

On [[21 October]], ''Seadragon'' sighted an enemy submarine, made her approach, and fired three torpedoes at the target. The first missed ahead. The second exploded about 18 seconds after firing. The third torpedo hit the target. [[Japan]]ese submarine [[Japanese submarine I-4|''I-4'']] sank with her bow vertical. The second torpedo explosion, however, had damaged ''Seadragon''. The force of the explosion had knocked down the personnel in the forward torpedo room, and the torpedo in No. 1 tube, the outer door of which was open, was forced against the tail buffer. The countereffect forced the torpedo forward shearing off the guide stud and tripping the starting lever. The outer door could not be closed. Depth control was lost. The torpedo was fired. Control was regained as the torpedo exploded on ''Seadragon'''s port quarter.

====2007====

On [[25 October]], ''Seadragon'' damaged another cargoman, and, on [[26 October]], departed the area for [[Pearl Harbor]] where she arrived on [[7 January]] [[1943]].

<!--[[Image:Sph_rfederer2007b.jpg|thumb|Federer in (Kooyong) Melbourne Australia, 2007.]]-->

Federer won his tenth [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] singles title when he won the [[2007 Australian Open]] without dropping a set, defeating [[Fernando González]] of [[Chile]] in the final 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4. [[Bjorn Borg]] was the last man to win a Grand Slam singles title without dropping a set, at the 1980 [[French Open]].<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.tennisfame.com/famer.aspx?pgID=867&hof_id=55 |title=Bjorn Borg-Tennis Hall of Fame |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref>

From [[Pearl Harbor]], ''Seadragon'' continued on to the West Coast. Between [[16 January]] and [[8 April]], she underwent overhaul at [[Mare Island]], receiving new batteries and [[radar]] and changing the position of her three-inch mount from aft to a forward position. In mid-April, she sailed west again; and, on [[9 May]], she departed [[Pearl Harbor]] for her sixth war patrol.

Federer then won the [[Dubai Duty Free Men's Open]], defeating Russian [[Mikhail Youzhny]] in the final 6-4, 6-3.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2007 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> This raised his match record for the year to 12-0 and brought his winning streak to 41-consecutive matches.

== Sixth patrol, May &ndash; June 1944 ==

Federer started his clay-court season by reaching the final of the [[Monte Carlo Masters]]. There, as in 2006, he lost to second seeded [[Rafael Nadal]]. This time, the score was 6-4, 6-4. Federer lost in the third round of the [[Rome Masters|Internazionali d'Italia]] in [[Rome]] to [[Filippo Volandri]] 6-2, 6-4, a player who at the time was ranked outside the world's top 50.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2007 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> <ref> {{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=2872730 |title=Federer still has time to salvage a poor clay season |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> The loss marked the fourth straight tournament Federer failed to win, making it his poorest career stretch since becoming World No. 1 in February 2004.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=2872730 |title=Federer still has time to salvage a poor clay season |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref>

On [[15 May]], ''Seadragon'' crossed the [[180th Meridian]] and moved toward [[Micronesia]]. On [[19 May]], she commenced patrolling in the [[Caroline Islands]]. On [[20 May]], she surprised and was in turn surprised by sighting a surfaced submarine on a parallel course. The other submarine submerged immediately. On [[22 May]], she took up station off the [[Truk Islands]] and for the next 11 days patrolled the sea lanes to the major enemy anchorage enclosed by [[Dublon]], [[Fefan]], and [[Uman]] islands. On [[4 June]], she departed [[Truk]] and moved eastward to reconnoiter [[Ponape]], thence proceeded into the [[Marshall Islands]] to patrol the sealanes converging on [[Kwajalein]]. There, the enemy's omnipresent surface and aerial escorts inhibited hunting, but, on [[13 June]], ''Seadragon'' was able to damage a freighter. Four days later, she cleared the area, and, on [[21 June]], she arrived at [[Midway Island]], whence she returned to [[Pearl Harbor]] for repairs to her steering gear.

On [[May 20]], [[2007]], however, Federer won the [[Hamburg Masters]] tournament, defeated Nadal on clay for the first time 2-6, 6-2, 6-0.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2007 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> It was his thirteenth [[ATP Masters Series]] title, his sixth tournament win on clay, and the second time he defeated Nadal with a bagel set.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2007 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> This victory also ended Nadal's male record of 81 consecutive match wins on clay.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=2876658 |title=Nadal's clay win streak comes to end at 81 |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref>

At the [[French Open]], Federer reached the final for the second time but again lost to Nadal 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Federer fell to 4-8 against Nadal. This tournament set a record for being the first time that the top two players in the computer rankings have won nine consecutive Grand Slam singles tournaments between them ([[2005 French Open]] through [[2007 French Open]]). The day after the final, Federer announced that he was withdrawing from the [[Gerry Weber Open]] in Halle, which he had won the last four years. He cited fatigue and fear of getting an injury.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/news/newsdetail.cfm?uNewsID=569 |title=OFF COURT - ROGER WITHDRAWS FROM HALLE |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> He therefore entered Wimbledon for the first time without having played a warm-up grass-court tournament.

== Seventh&ndash;ninth patrols, July 1943 &ndash; February 1944 ==

At [[Wimbledon]], he has reached the semi-final which he will play on [[July 7]] against either [[Andy Roddick]] or [[Richard Gasquet]].

== Coaches ==

From [[18 July]] to [[30 August]], ''Seadragon'' conducted her seventh war patrol. Of the 44 days, 31 were spent on station near [[Wake Island|Wake]] and in the [[Marshall Islands]] where increased enemy air activity again hindered hunting and limited <i>Seadragon</i>'s score to five freighters damaged. In mid-August, she reconnoitered [[Wotje]]; and, at the end of the month, she returned to [[Pearl Harbor]].

* 1989&ndash;1994: Seppli Kacovsky (Switzerland). Kacovsky was the head coach of the Old Boys’ Tennis Club in Federer’s home town of [[Basel]]. Roger joined Old Boys' when he was eight years old.<ref> {{cite web |url=http://www.tcob.ch |title=TC Old Boys Basel |accessdate=2007-03-02 |language=Swiss Standard German }}</ref>

* 1991&ndash;1995, 1997&ndash;1998: Peter Carter (Australia). Carter gave Federer weekly private coaching, from the age of 10 to 14. They reunited in a new training facility in [[Biel]] in 1997, and Carter coached Federer on and off until he turned pro.

* 1995&ndash;1997: After Federer became the Swiss junior champion, he was selected to join the Swiss National Tennis center in [[Ecublens, Vaud]], and trained there until he finished school.

* 1999&ndash;2003: [[Peter Lundgren]] (Sweden). When Federer entered the professional circuit, he chose former top-25 player Lundgren, whom he met in Biel, as his coach. He still consulted frequently with Carter.

* 2005&ndash;2007: [[Tony Roche]] (Australia). Roche is a former Australian tennis champion who coached [[Patrick Rafter]] and [[Ivan Lendl]] to the world number one ranking. He helped Federer for 10-15 weeks per year before [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] and [[ATP Masters Series]] tournaments. Federer and Roche split two weeks before the start of the 2007 French Open.<ref>{{cite web | title = Federer splits with coach Roche | author = Reuters | url = http://edition.cnn.com/2007/SPORT/05/12/tennis.federer.reut/ | accessdate = 2007-05-13 }}</ref> Federer subsequently announced that he would compete without a coach during the Hamburg Masters Series Tournament, French Open, and Wimbledon.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.tennis.com/news/news.aspx?id=78820|title= Tennis.com News|accessdate= 2007-05-31}}</ref>

== Playing style==

On her eighth war patrol, [[24 September]] to [[5 November]], ''Seadragon'' again returned to the [[Marshall Islands]] and spent 31 days hunting in the sea lanes to [[Kwajalein]]. Again Japanese antisubmarine measures hindered hunting; and, of the five ship contacts made, only two could be developed and only one attack was made. On [[13 October]], she damaged an enemy transport.

Federer has a versatile, all-court playing style and can hit all of the fundamental shots with a high degree of proficiency. He is an adept volleyer and an excellent baseliner who can dictate play with precise groundstrokes from both wings.<ref>{{cite web| first=S. Ram | last = Mahesh | work = Sportstar | publisher = Hindu | date = 2006-01-12 | url=http://www.tssonnet.com/tss2902/stories/20060114006100800.htm | title = The Genius | accessdate = 2007-06-20 }}</ref>

Federer uses fairly conventional grips. His forehand [[Grip (tennis)|grip]] is somewhere between a modern eastern and mild semi-western, meaning that his hand is about halfway underneath the racquet, allowing for either a flat or [[topspin]] shot (information about this grip can be seen [http://www.tennisserver.com/turbo/turbo_03_04.html here]). He hits through his forehand on a straighter plane than nearly any other player and finishes his swing wrapped around his back, which is not the typical technique of following through after contact and "scratching your back" with the elbow pointing skyward and the racquet coming over the shoulder.<ref>{{cite news | first=Christopher | last=Clarey | coauthors= | title= Coming to grips with today's forehand | date = 2006-06-25 | url =http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/06/25/news/rwtechnic.php | work = International Herald Tribune | accessdate = 2007-03-02 }}</ref> He also can generate extreme top-spin with the shot, allowing him to open up cross-court angles while still hitting the ball with pace. [[David Foster Wallace]] has described the exceptional speed, fluidity and brute force of this forehand motion as "a great liquid whip," <ref name="Wallace">{{cite news | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/20/sports/playmagazine/20federer.html?ex=1313726400&en=716968175e36505e&ei=5090 | first = David Foster| last = Wallace | title = Federer as Religious Experience | date = 2006-08-20 | work = Play Magazine | publisher = New York Times | accessdate = 2007-06-21 }}</ref> while [[John McEnroe]] has referred to it as "the greatest shot in our sport" on numerous occasions.{{Fact|date=June 2007}} Federer plays with a one-handed backhand, which has improved over the last few years. Although critics and coaches consider his backhand to have been his weaker side, it has developed into one of the best in the game. He has an excellent [[slice]] but can also fire great top-spin shots. Federer tends to hit his groundstrokes early, while the ball is still on the rise, much like [[Andre Agassi]] did. While this requires excellent reactions and footwork, it means that Federer hits his groundstrokes closer to the net than most of his opponents. This reduces the reaction time of his opponents and allows him to hit the sharply angled winners that are a trademark of his game.<ref name="Wallace"/>

<i>Seadragon</i>'s ninth war patrol, [[14 December]] [[1943]] to [[5 February]] [[1944]], took her back to the [[Caroline Islands]] where she hunted enemy shipping on the [[Truk]]-[[Saipan]] route and damaged two, possibly three, cargomen.

As of [[2007]], Federer has started to come to the net more often, urged to do so by former coach [[Tony Roche]].{{Fact|date=June 2007}} He is a good volleyer and is notably strong at backhand smashes, one of the most difficult shots in the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=

== Tenth patrol, April &ndash; May 1944 ==

http://www.masatenisi.org/english/bhsmash.htm|title=Backhand smash|accessdate = 2007-06-20 }}</ref>

His serve is difficult to read because he tosses the ball in the same spot no matter where he intends to serve it and because he turns his back to his opponents during his motion. His first serve is typically around 200&nbsp;km/h (125&nbsp;mph) (although he is capable of serving into the 210&nbsp;km/h (130&nbsp;mph) range).<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.topix.net/forum/tennis/andy-roddick/TJ8FHK64V5B309G2S|title= Service Speed Comparison:Federer, Roddick, Sampras|accessdate = 2007-05-31 }}</ref> His second serve usually has a heavily kicked delivery. Federer generally serves with placement and precision, but on occasion he will hit a powerful serve to keep his opponents off balance.

His footwork, balance, and court coverage are exceptional, and he is considered to be one of the fastest movers in the game. Unlike most players who take many small steps when approaching the ball in order to maintain balance (exemplified by the classic footwork of Jimmy Connors), Federer takes long fluid strides. He can hit a strong shot on the run or while backpedaling, allowing him to switch from defense to offense as well as any player on tour.

Refit brought the replacement of <i>Seadragon</i>'s three-inch deck gun with a four-inch, and, on [[1 April]], she cleared [[Pearl Harbor]] for the Japanese home islands for her tenth war patrol. On [[5 April]], she crossed the [[International Date Line]]. On [[15 April]], she entered Japanese waters. On [[16 April]], she moved past [[O Shima]], and, that night, commenced patrolling off the [[Bungo Strait]] and [[Kii Channel]] entrances to the [[Inland Sea]]. On the morning of [[23 April]], she sighted four freighters, escorted by three patrol boats, moving toward [[Shiono Misaki]]. She closed the convoy; fired on the third ship, the heaviest laden; then went deep and rigged for depth charging. The patrol boats moved toward ''Seadragon'' as ''Daiju Maru'' sank and, during the next two hours, delivered a 40 depth charge attack. Later that day, the submarine conducted an unsuccessful attack on a naval auxiliary; and, on [[26 April]], she moved out into the [[Tokyo]]-[[Manila]] shipping lanes where she damaged a freighter on [[27 April]].

Federer's relaxed, smooth playing style belies his aggressive and opportunistic tactics. He constructs points to get in a position that allows him to hit winners with his groundstrokes.

On [[28 April]], she commenced patrolling the [[Nagoya]]-[[Saipan]] route. In May, she took station off the entrance to [[Sugura Wan]] and, on [[3 May]], shifted to the [[Tokyo]]-[[Guam]]-[[Saipan]]-[[Truk]] sea lanes. Two days later, she hunted enemy traffic at the entrance to [[Sagami Wan]]. On [[13 May]], she headed for [[Midway Island]]. On [[17 May]], she caught an armed trawler in a surface attack; set it afire with four-inch gun salvos, then closed the target to take off the uniformed enemy crew. The surviving crew members refused to surrender, and ''Seadragon'' continued eastward. On [[21 May]], she crossed the 180th Meridian and stopped at [[Midway Island]]; thence got underway for [[Pearl Harbor]], arriving on [[25 May]].

=== Equipment ===

Federer, who has used various racquets, currently plays with a Wilson K Factor KSix-One Tour 90 Racquet;<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/player.html?ccode=RFEDERER |title=Roger Federer Equipment |accessdate = 2007-03-07 }}</ref> some speculate that it is a custom mold of the Wilson ProStaff Original 6.0 85 used by [[Pete Sampras]]. Federer strings his racquets at a relatively loose tension (53-60&nbsp;pounds depending on his opponent and surface).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/fanzone/askroger/index.cfm?uNC=97027562&uPage=1&uCategoryID=3 |title=Ask Roger; Official Website |accessdate = 2007-03-02}}</ref> This allows him to return balls at higher velocity with less effort but makes consistent accuracy more difficult. Federer's past racquets include the Wilson nCode nSix-One Tour 90, Wilson ProStaff Tour 90, and the Wilson ProStaff Original 6.0 85. Federer's current KSix-One Tour 90 is a racquet designed for advanced players and is characterised by its smaller hitting surface, heavy weight, and thin beam. Federer endorses [[Wilson Sporting Goods|Wilson]] tennis racquets and accessories and [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] apparel and footwear. He also has endorsement deals from various other companies, many of them being Swiss.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/sponsors/index.cfm|title=Roger Federer-Sponsors|accessdate = 2007-06-20 }}</ref>

== Records ==

== Eleventh patrol, September &ndash; November 1944 ==

{{main|Records held by Roger Federer}}

Roger Federer holds a number of records in tennis history. Most prominent may be the fact that he has won Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in the same year for three years, as of pre-Wimbledon 2007. He has surpassed a number of long-standing records, such as Jimmy Connors' record of 160 weeks straight ranked #1. Federer is chasing Pete Sampras' record of 14 major tournament victories as well as [[Rod Laver]]'s two Grand Slams (winning all four majors in one calendar year).

== Awards ==

Re-engined at [[Mare Island]] during the summer, ''Seadragon'' returned to [[Pearl Harbor]] on [[7 September]] and departed on her 11th war patrol, a [[Wolf pack|coordinated patrol]] with submarines [[USS Shark (SS-314)|''Shark'']] (SS-314) and [[USS Blackfish (SS-221)|''Blackfish'']] (SS-221), on [[23 September]]. She arrived at [[Saipan]] to top off on [[3 October]]. On [[4 October]], ''Shark'' and ''Blackfish'' continued on to the wolfpack's assigned area in the northern China Sea. ''Seadragon'', delayed by the need for repairs, did not depart until [[5 October]]. On [[9 October]], she arrived off [[Batan Island]], established contact with ''Shark'' and ''Blackfish'', and took position in a scouting line in the pack's assigned area.

On the night of [[21 October]] and the morning of [[22 October]], the group went after an enemy warship formation lead by an [[aircraft carrier]]. At 06:15 on [[24 October]], ''Shark'' reported a contact, and ''Seadragon'' headed for the scene. At 07:30, the contact was sighted through the high periscope, but it proved too distant. At 09:20, ''Seadragon'' sighted three enemy merchantmen in a loose column with a [[torpedo boat destroyer]] and an airplane as escorts. At 10:55, she fired four torpedoes at the lead freighter.

The first torpedo broached and ran erratic, alerting the escort which started for ''Seadragon''. ''Seadragon'' rigged for depth charging. Soon thereafter, two torpedo explosions were heard, and, at 11:01, the first of eight depth charges was dropped. At 11:54, ''Seadragon'' went to periscope depth. The escort was milling around picking up survivors four miles astern. The remaining merchant ships were ahead of the submarine and making only two or three knots. As ''Seadragon'' prepared to fire again, the destroyer rejoined the formation. At 11:14, ''Seadragon'' fired four more torpedoes. Three hits were observed. The submarine's second target of the day sank in less than two minutes.

''Seadragon'' went deep. Fifteen depth charges followed. At 13:10, the submarine returned to periscope depth. The deck of the sole remaining freighter was crowded. The freighter was smoking heavily and moving slowly. The escort circled the freighter. At 14:04, ''Seadragon'' fired. The first torpedo tore off the freighter's bow. The rest of the ship went under quickly. At 14:05, the first of 25 depth charges was dropped.

: <small>*As of [[11 June]] [[2007]].</small>

== Twelfth patrol, December 1944 &ndash; January 1945 ==

Arriving at her destination on [[8 November]], she commenced refit; and, on [[3 December]], she headed west for her 12th war patrol. The patrol took her back into Japanese waters where she hunted enemy shipping and searched for downed aviators into January [[1945]]. On [[10 January]], she moved into the [[Bonin Islands]], where she continued those two roles. On [[19 January]], she set a southerly course; and, on [[22 January]], she arrived at [[Guam]] to complete her last war patrol.

==References==

The next day, ''Seadragon'' continued on to [[Pearl Harbor]], and, after refit, returned to [[California]] to provide training services to naval air units. In May, she was transferred back to the [[US Atlantic Fleet|Atlantic Fleet]] and for the final months of the war, provided training services at [[Guantanamo Bay]] and [[Key West]], [[Florida]]. In September, she moved north to [[Naval Submarine Base New London|New London, Connecticut]], thence to [[Boston Navy Yard|Boston, Massachusetts]], where she was decommissioned on [[15 November]] [[1945]]. Less than four months later, on [[8 February]] [[1946]], she was recommissioned to assist in the inactivation and preservation of submarines, including [[U-boat]]s, at [[Hingham, Massachusetts]]. On [[29 October]] [[1946]], she was again decommissioned and berthed as a unit of the [[Atlantic Reserve Fleet]] where she remained until struck from the [[Naval Vessel Register]] on [[30 April]] [[1948]].
