Hi Robert,
Hague has her in Lake Charles, Dec 12, 1945 so she wasn’t sunk in 1942.
According to Captain Author R. Moore’s “A Careless Word, A Needless Sinking” :
SS EASTERN SUN (9,100 GRT) Sun Oil Company. She was attacked by a sub three times on May 14, 1942. Missed by three torpedoes, 1st at 02:15 CWT position 28-40 North/91-21 West, second torpedo at 02:35, and third at 04:38. En route Marcus Hook to Port Arthur in ballast.
Hague has her in Port Arthur May 17, 1942.
Regards,
Ken Dunn
