The Patrol Papers was an unofficial newsletter produced by the U.S. Navy during World War II, specifically for the crews of submarines operating in the Pacific. This publication, often compiled and written by submariners themselves, served as a morale booster and a way to keep the crews connected and informed about both their fellow submariners' exploits and the broader progress of the war. Featuring stories of successful patrols, personal anecdotes, and sometimes humorous accounts from the submarines' perilous missions, the Patrol Papers became a symbol of camaraderie and resilience. It also highlighted the key role that submarines played in disrupting Japanese supply lines and striking at the heart of the enemy?s naval power. Through these pages, submariners could share their experiences and maintain a sense of unity despite the dangers they faced beneath the Pacific waves. Tender News was a wartime newsletter produced for the crews of U.S. Navy submarine tenders during World War II. Submarine tenders were crucial to the maintenance and support of submarines operating in the Pacific, providing essential services such as repairs, supplies, and crew rest between patrols. Tender News served as a vital communication link between tenders and the submariners they supported, offering updates on naval operations, news from home, and the latest developments in the war. It also featured stories of submarine successes, humorous anecdotes, and highlights of the tenders' role in keeping the fleet operational. By celebrating the hard work and dedication of those aboard the tenders, Tender News helped to boost morale and reinforce the important, though often unseen, contributions of the tenders to the success of the U.S. Navy's submarine force during the war.
