Eighth Mission with Commander Moore
By September 12, 1943, Pearl Harbor was greeted by Grayback’s presence and was once again ready to hit another Pacific mission. This mission would be her eight during the war under the leadership of Commander John Anderson Moore. By now, the crew were experienced veterans and were ready to take on anything. Within two weeks of docking at Pearl Harbor, Grayback was ready to hit the seas again with the U.S.S. Shad to Midway Atoll.

The Creation of “Wolfpack”
While at Midway Atoll, U.S.S. Cero joined Grayback and Shad and formed the legendary group “wolfpack.” This tactic to team up in war had proven successful, especially by German U-boat, and had now been adopted by the U.S. Navy. Still, this was a new strategy for the generally individualistic submarines, and it was unclear whether its captains and crews could cooperate to effective efficiency. Still, the plan had been thought through thoroughly, and the brass were optimistic.
