	USS Grampus (SS-523)
		USS Grampus (SS-523), a Tench-class submarine, was the seventh ship of the United States Navy to be named for two members of the dolphin family (Delphinidae): Grampus griseus, also known as Risso's dolphin, and orca, also known as the "Killer Whale." Her keel was laid down on February 8, 1944 at Boston Navy Yard.
		From 5 January to 2 April 1955 Grampus proceeded independently to the Mediterranean Sea, where she "showed the flag" at Algiers, Naples, Barcelona, Malta, Beirut, Monaco, and Gibraltar before returning to Norfolk and her routine of exercises and tests, spaced with regular overhauls at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
		Grampus was decommissioned and struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 13 May 1972, and sold under the Security Assistance Program to Brazil, where she became Rio Grande do Sul (S-11).

		I was a Reactor Technician and RO on the USS Halibut SSGN 587 from late '61 to May '64.
		Actually, I've been researching hulls for a new remote control model submarine (I don't do kits) for several weeks now and this is the most entertaining SS page to date.
		Comments: I qualified aboard USS Balao, AGSS 285 in 1962, at Key West, rode her a year then to the USS Tirante SS 420, at Key West, in 1963, and finally to the USS Ronquil SS 396, at San Diego in 1966.
