Hit directly! Two bombs hit Sealion (SS-195) almost simultaneously. The first US submarine casualty of the war, she went down in the Cavite bunker - then rose from the shallow machine harbor and sank in Manila Bay to avoid capture. Seadragon (SS-194) (shown right) narrowly escaped the explosion.

Cavite Naval Yard, Philippine Islands. On December 10, 1941, a Japanese air raid caused a fire in Cavite. Carrier #181 (YF-181?) -- perhaps visible right of center -- was loaded with burning torpedoes. While this photo was being taken, a small arms fire exploded in the middle of the fire. Heavy on left side. The submarine on the far right bow is probably Sealion (SS-195), which was bombed. She collapsed in front of the ship.

Commander Richard George Voge served a four-month tour of duty as executive officer of Rowan (DD-405) from late September 1939 to late January 1940. In mid-February Comdr. Voz returned to the Asiatic Fleet and was given command of Sealion (SS-195), based in Cavite, Philippines, and commanded that submarine until the first day of American involvement in World War II. During an enemy attack on 8 December 1941 (West Longitude Time), Voz suffered the double blow of receiving command in a refit, and three days later, she was lost to an enemy bomb while at the Cavite Navy Yard. Voge, however, quickly recovered from the attack, taking command of Sailfish (SS-192) on 17 December 1941.

I served on Princeton (LPH-5) from 1961-63. We were in the Philippines on a Westpac cruise and during that time ... we were asked to perform burials at sea for two men who drowned at the Cavite Naval Shipyard, Manila on Sealion (SS-191). PI. Two sets of bodies were brought on board and placed in the church building.
The body was sewn into a canvas bag and weighed. I helped adjust the table they were placed on and could feel the bones through the canvas, so I was positive they were skeletons. We got out of Manila Bay into the China Sea, I don't remember, but we stopped and took the ship's company into service and with a salute from the Marines. Well, we took possession of the body. deep
