The submarine sailed for her patrol area again in the Palau Islands on 25 November. En route, on 7 December, she sighted a large freighter and a submarine tender escorted by a destroyer. In the ensuing attack three torpedoes hit and sank the 6,081-ton submarine tender, and one hit the freighter, before "Pogy" went deep to sit out an attack of 22 depth charges. She surfaced in the darkness to find the freighter dead in the water with the destroyer circling her. "Pogy" launched two torpedoes, both hits.
