	USS Flying Fish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Three ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS Flying Fish, named in honor of the flying fish, any of number of fishes of tropic and warm temperate seas whose long winglike fins make it possible for them to move some distance through the air.
		The second Flying Fish, (SS-229), was a Gato-class submarine, commissioned in 1942 and struck in 1958.
		The third Flying Fish, (SSN-673), was a Sturgeon-class submarine, commissioned in 1970 and struck in 1996.

	Flying Fish
		Immediately the counterattack began, and as Flying Fish prepared to launch torpedoes at one of the destroyers, rapidly closing to starboard, her commanding officer was blinded by a geyser of water thrown up by a bomb.
		Flying Fish dived for safety, enduring seven depth charge runs by the patrol vessel before it was joined by two destroyers who kept the submarine under attack for 5 hours.
		Pressing on with her chase for 6 hours in the hope of finishing off the tanker, Flying Fish was detected and held down by aircraft and destroyers while the tanker escaped.

		On the afternoon of 31 March, FLYING FISH was attacked by a Japanese submarine, whose torpedoes she skillfully evaded.

		The fish has developed the perfect anatomy for short, sharp, bursts of speed which coupled with a mouthful of razor sharp teeth, will strip most fish and animals to the bone in next to no time.
		These are fierce fish with similar looks to that of the red belly but have a large fl humeral spot behind the gill plate.
		A great fish which can be mixed with some fish of the Pygocentrus family, but is extremely aggressive and a fin nipper.

		Gilyard, 64, is one of the few workers relegated to the backbreaking toil of wheeling the fish in the pushcart and heaving it into vans -- all because he doesn't have his driver's license, which would allow him to operate a hi-low.
		The fish stations on the southern side of South Street, in contrast, are city-owned properties, leased by the individual wholesalers who inhabit them.
		Then, the workers will store the unsold fish in freezers, close up shop, and deal with one of the biggest challenges of the day: getting rid of the fish stench that lingers even after they have changed their clothes.

	USS Growler (SS-215) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Two days later she conducted a submerged night attack on a freighter, surfacing to give chase when both torpedoes ran under the target and failed to explode; the freighter's quick exit into shallow waters prevented Growler from gun attack.
		Patrolling amidst a large fishing fleet on 25 August, Growler sighted and fired at a large passenger freighter but all three torpedoes missed; after a three-hour depth charge attack, in which some 53 ash cans were dropped, Growler surfaced and almost immediate spotted a convoy.
		After two hours of maneuvering, she failed to catch up with the main body of the convoy but did fire at and sink an ex-gunboat, Senyo Maru.

		USS Sea Cat (SS-399), the name being a shortened form of sea catfish, a marine fish of little food value found off the southeastern coast of the United States, was authorized to be built by the United States Congressional Act of 9 July 1942...
		In addition to USS Sea Cat, USS Flying Fish (SS-229), USS Entemedor (SS-340), USS Sea Dog (SS-401), USS Sea Poacher (SS-406), USS Sea Robin (SS-407), and USS Sennet (SS-408) received this additional "gunboat" equipment...but the equipment was essentially a makeshift and was removed during the postwar period.
		During that period, the submarine ran and completed a series of tests, during which it was found that the XDG sonar ranging equipment was less accurate than other forms of passive ranging which were then under development.
