Died:
The Arisan Maru was a Japanese freighter POW ship, one among many. It was sunk 24 October 1944 by an Allied forces torpedo. The two possible submarines which sank the Arisan Maru were the USS Shark or the USS Snook, with inadequate or conflicting information about which submarine was responsible. These two submarines were part of a wolf pack of allied submarines responsible for the many sinkings of the Japanese convoy MATA-30 heading for Takao. The USS Shark was sunk in Luzon Strait by Japanese destroyers on 24 October 1944. The last contact from the USS Snook was on 8 April 1945 in Luzon Strait.

— Close Ships' InformationJapanese Freighter Arisan Maru POW Ship Arisan Maru was a Japanese freighter and was one of Imperial Japan's "hell ships". The vessel, named for a mountain on Formosa, was initially used as a troop transport. The vessel was then used for the transportation of POWs from the Philippines to Manchuria, China or Japan. On October 24, 1944 the ship was torpedoed by an American submarine and sank. Of the 1,781 POWs aboard, all of them escaped the sinking ship but were not rescued by the Japanese. In the end, only nine of the prisoners survived the sinking. (click ship image to close ship information)  | Allied Submarine USS Shark POW Ship
On 24th October, USS Seadragon received a message from the USS Shark stating that she had made radar contact with a single freighter, and she was going in to attack. This was the last message received from the submarine. She was reported as presumed lost on 27th November. Japanese records examined after the war indicate that on 24th October 1944, in Luzon Strait, Japanese destroyer Harukaze made contact with a submerged submarine and dropped depth charges. After losing and regaining the contact, the destroyer dropped another 17 depth charges which resulted in “bubbles, heavy oil, clothes and cork” coming to the surface. |
