USS GATO (SS-212)
OPERATED OUT OF BRISBANE SUBMARINE BASE
DURING WW2

US Navy Submarine USS Gato (SS-212) operated out of the Brisbane Submarine Base during WW2.

USS Gato rescued a group of Coast Watchers Bougainville during WW2. Edward Douglas "Slim" Otton was one of those Coast Watchers. Otton had assisted another Coast Watcher, Paul Edward Mason on Bougainville.

Can anyone help me with more information?
