Gets Into the
Golden Gate HarbDr

Japanese submarine, the Y-U-3,
gained entra.nce through the Gol-
den Gate harbor and went as far
inland as Mare Island. Thos-e who
saw the sub described it as one of
the Japanese cargo-transport types
having a length of about 137 feet
and a displacement of nearly 280
tons. It was the kind of i::hip be-
lieved to hav-e sneaked the Jap
garrison off , Kiska Island in 1943.
