"helped sink two Japanese submarines: RO-46 on 9 April and I-56 on 18 April." This is contradicted by Mark Stille's Imperial Japanese Navy Submarines 1941-1945 (Osprey, 2007), which credits RO-46 to Carter Bennett's Sea Owl alone, & dates it 18 April; Blair, Silent Victory, pp.834-5, credits Sea Owl with RO-56 on 16 April (an evident misprint), RO-49 to Lagarto (Frank Latta) on 24 Feb, & says nothing to the fate of RO-46 or I-56; Fitzsimons, Illustrated Encyclopedia of 20th Century Weapons & Warfare (Phoebus, 1978), Vol 20, p.2216, credits RO-46 to Sea Owl; Vol 13, p.1409, lists I-56 (mistakenly identified as I-58) as lost off Okinawa 18 April 1945.
