	History
		USS John R. Pierce is named in honor of Lieutenant Commander John Reeves Pierce USN, who with total disregard for his own safety gallantly gave his life for his ship and his country in action with the enemy.
		On 22 June 1942, Lieutenant Commander Pierce assumed command of USS Argonaut, our largest submarine, and continued in this most important and responsible post until she was lost with all hands as a result of a gallant surface action with the enemy on 11 January 1943 in the Pacific Area.
		On 26 October Pierce tracked the Lebanese registered freighter Marucra and reported to the USS Joseph P. Kennedy that she had the vessel and was about to board and search her as previously ordered, when she was told to await the arrival of the Kennedy, which was named after the President’s brother.

	SS-166 V-4 Argonaut
		Displacing 4,164 tons (submerged), USS V-4, later Argonaut (SS-1662), was both the largest submarine the Navy ever built before the advent of nuclear power and the only U.S. submarine specifically designed as a minelayer.
		Her configuration, and that of the two V-class boats that followed — USS V-5 and USS V-6 — resulted from an evolving strategic concept that increasingly emphasized the possibility of a naval war with Japan in the far western Pacific.

		ARGONAUT and USS NAUTILUS SS-168 took Carlson's Raiders to Makin Island in 1942, partly because they were our largest submarines - and they returned to a heroes' welcome at the submarine piers, not far from where the chapel would be built and dedicated in 1944.

		Then, at Pearl Harbor – having never laid a mine in anger – her mine-laying gear was stripped out to facilitate conversion to a troop-carrying submarine, and in that guise, she participated in the commando assault on Japanese-held Makin Atoll by Carlson’s Raiders in August 1942.
		In their overall appearance and dimensions, USS V-5 (later Narwhal, SS-167) and USS V-6 (later Nautilus, SS-168) were similar to Argonaut and constituted “submarine cruiser” counterparts at least partially inspired by German success with long-range submarine commerce raiders in World War One.
		Thus, Nautilus joined with Argonaut in transporting Carlson’s Raiders to Makin, and then with Narwhal, landed a strong detachment of U.S. Army Scouts on Attu in the Aleutians preparatory to the main landing that regained that island from the Japanese in May 1943.
