My dad served on Bluefish during the war. he lives in upstate NY. I will ask him about this. He has told me stories of his time aboard. They blew up a Japanese train with the deck gun. They also used a CO2 fire extinguisher to extract the toxins from torpedo alcohol to make it drinkable.
He also recalls the captain yelling "hurray, I can shave" after the first kill on one of their patrols.
