High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! James William Blanchard was an American submarine commander during the Pacific War. Blanchard graduated the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland with the Class of 1927. He was at the Submarine School in New London, Connecticut until, on 5 December 1943, now a Lieutenant Commander, he took command of the submarine Albacore in Brisbane, Australia, replacing Oscar Hagberg. On 26 December 1943, Blanchard departed Australia to patrol north of the Bismarck Islands. Directed by Ultra to intercept a Japanese I-boat, he made no contact when the I-boat failed to arrive. He spotted his first target on 12 January 1944 and sank ammunition ship Choko Maru (about 2750 tons) with two separate torpedo attacks. Two days later, he worked in concert with Wally Ebert in Scamp and "Bub" Ward in Guardfish. Ward, unable to get a shot, flushed the destroyer Sazanami (1750 tons); Blanchard sank her with a spread of four shots from his stern torpedo tubes, while Ward stood by taking periscope pictures.
