Personal Effects of General Tomoyuki Yamashita

James Ralph Jensen

James Ralph Jensen entered the Navy in 1942 and eventually trained and rose to the level of an Electrician’s Mate Third Class. Soon after he volunteered for submarine service and was assigned to the USS Bullhead. Tragically, James Ralph died aboard the submarine, likely on the same day that the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, 6 August 1945. The USS Bullhead is perhaps the last vessel in the U.S. Navy to be lost to enemy fire.
