Notable events involving Frazier include:
13 Jun 1943
15 miles East of Sirius Point, Kiska, Alaska USS Frazier sights two periscopes and opens fire on them. The Japanese submarine I-9 (offsite link) dives, but the Frazier hit the periscopes. The destroyer makes sonar contact and attacks with depth charges. Air bubbles, oil and debris rise to the surface, but the Frazier makes two more attacks to ensure that the submarine is sunk. The I-9 is lost with all hands in position 52°08'N, 177°38'E.
