	USS Perch (SS-176)
		USS Perch (SS-176), a Porpoise-class submarine, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the perch, a type of fish belonging to the family Percidae.
		In the spring of 1939, Perch operated with the fleet on its cruise to the East Coast.
		In a night attack on a large merchantman off the eastern coast of Celebes, Perch was hit in the superstructure, forward of the pressure hull of the conning tower, by a high explosive projectile which blew away the bridge deck, punctured the antenna trunk and temporarily put her radio out of commission.

	US Submarines Speed Versus Sea State with Technical Data (Site not responding. Last check: )
		These submarines were extremely large by standards of the day (about three times the size of an S boat), slow on the surface, slow on the dive and difficult to maneuver.
		The USS Argonaut, the lone member and the namesake of its class was the direct descendent of the Barracuda Class, devloped principally to serve in the Pacific as a long range mine layer.
		These two classes of submarines shouldered the bulk of the combat duties during the early stages of the war, with the USS Tautog (photo) holding the scoring record in the category of "number of ships sunk" (26).

	US Perch (SS-313)
		The USS Perch (SS-313) was a Balao class submarine.
		Another factor of importance in the Balao class subs was new electronic gear including the ability to better detect targets, to set more accurate torpedo angles using new electric torpedos, and sophisticated equipment to detect certain water layers called thermoclines under which these boats could slip, thus deflecting the sonar pings of enemy ships.
		The USS Perch (SS-313) was launched on September 12, 1943 and commissioned on January 7, 1944.

	World War II American Submarine List
		The majority are fleet-type submarines, but a number of older type boats also served, mostly in training and rear-area billets, though many of the S-Boats saw combat, and a number of R-Boats were employed on patrols in low activity areas.
		There are gaps in some of the number sequences, either because the boats were canceled before commissioning, or because, while ordered and laid down during the war, they weren't commissioned until after 2 September 1945 and thus did not see actual service during World War II.

		The Balao class was a successful design of United States Navy submarine used during World War II.
		An evolutionary improvement over the earlier Gato class, the boats had slight internal differences.
		The most significant improvement was the use of higher strength steel in the pressure hull, which increased their test depth to 400 feet.

		The submarine was positioned off Pearl Harbor during the attack on December 7, but damage to the aircraft precluded it from conducting scouting missions for the attack.
		For recovery, the pilot landed on the surface, taxied to the submarine and was hoisted aboard.
