  USS Cisco (SS-290) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Cisco (SS-290), a Balao-class submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the cisco, a whitefish of the Great Lakes.
Cisco sailed from Panama 7 August 1943 for Brisbane, Australia, arriving 1 September to assume local patrol duties, until 18 September, when she docked at Darwin.
Cisco is thus presumed to have been lost in action 28 September 1943.

Cisco was commissioned on May 10, 1943 with LCDR James W. Coe in command.
Cisco's area was a large rectangular one in the South China Sea between Luzon and the coast of French Indo-China.
At the time of her loss it was considered very unlikely that a recurrence of trouble with her main hydraulic system could explain her sinking, and the only other possible clue was the fact that a Japanese plane was reported over Darwin at twenty thousand feet on the morning of her second departure.

 USS S-39 (SS-144)
USS S-39 reached the island on 27 February, well before the arranged rendezvous time, but after two days of waiting with no apparent activity, Lieutenant Coe decided to lead a shore party to search for the British group.
USS S-39's fifth war patrol, delayed twice by mechanical failures, and once by the necessity of hospitalizing her executive officer, who came down with pneumonia, requiring a replacement for the second in command, finally commenced upon departure from base on 10 August 1942.
Lieutenant Brown, the commanding officer of USS S-39, was later assigned to USS S-44 (SS-155), only to be lost in that boat when she was shelled and sunk by a Japanese destroyer during a surface gun action engagement.
