Burrfish's war operations extended from February 2, 1944 to May 13, 1945, during which period it completed six war patrols and sank a 5,894 ton Japanese tanker. The ship's operating area extended from the Western Caroline Islands to Formosa and the waters south of Japan. Burrfish also participated with Ronquil (SS-396) in the destruction of a 200-ton patrol vessel. During its third war patrol the ship completed several special missions, conducting reconnaissance of the beaches of Palau and Yap where landings were planned.
