''Growler's'' llth and final war patrol began out of Fremantle 20 October in a wolfpack with ''Hake'' and ''Hardhead''. On 8 November the wolfpack, headed by ''Growler'', closed a convoy for attack, with ''Growler'' on the opposite side of the enemy from ''Hake'' and ''Hardhead''. The order to commence attacking was the last communication ever received from ''Growler''. After the attack was underway, ''Hake'' and ''Hardhead'' heard what sounded like a torpedo explosion and then a series of depth charges on ''Growler's'' side of the convoy, and then nothing. All efforts to contact ''Growler'' for the next 3 days proved futile, and the gallant submarine, veteran of seven successful war patrols, was listed as lost in action against the enemy, cause unknown.
