USS Cuttlefish (SC-5/SS-171), a Cachalot-class submarine and one of the "V-boats," was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the cuttlefish, a ten-armed marine mollusk similar to the squid.

Cuttlefish’s third war patrol was designated as "successful," and she received one battle star for that patrol and one for her service during the Battle of Midway.
