- Jackie is still absent.
- Last issue for Fred Guardineer on Pacific Patrol, but not on Secret War News.
- P.T.Boat:
- This issue, for a change, some other PT Boat crewmen are visible, wearing blue "crackerjack" uniforms. Tobias and Harvey, however, along with Platt and Mattson, operate in combat in dress white uniforms.
- Another Japanese submarine is destroyed.
- Secret War News
- "This is an actual story based upon inside facts gathered from U.S.N. Information Bureaus."
