No Sinkings - Lifeguard Duty

3 ships, 5,401 tons, plus a small unidentified patrol boat estimated at 150 tons not credited to Angler in JANAC.

JANAC - 3 ships, 5,401 tons. Note that the criteria JANAC used included all Japanese Naval vessels (although JANAC did not usually count warships less than 500 tons that were converted from merchant ships) and all Japanese merchant vessels of 500 or more gross tons known or believed to have been lost during the war. Differences between JANAC figures and current research are noted above.

Alden-McDonald credit Angler with 3 ships and 5,401 tons sunk, plus the small patrol boat

SORG credits Angler with 4 ships and 18,400 tons sunk.
