 USS Grayling (SS-209) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Grayling (SS-209), a Tambor-class submarine, was the fourth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the grayling, a fresh-water game fish closely related to the trout.
Grayling left Australian waters on 18 March on her sixth war patrol and cruised in the Tarakan area and the Verde Island Passage.
Grayling returned to action in June as all available ships were pressed into service to oppose the Japanese advance on Midway Island.

 Bells Left Behind
The bells - from the submarines USS Wahoo (SS-238) and USS Argonaut (SS-166) - were two unique reminders of the dangers submariners faced during another era, that of the submarine war waged in the Pacific in World War II.
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.
One of those lost was the USS Robalo (SS-273), and her Commanding Officer, Manning Kimmell.

Numbering: Most submarines are numbered in a single series, designated "SS", with variations including SSN, SSBN, AGSS, etc. Some specialized types were numbered in separate SSK (hunter-killer), SST (training), SC (cruiser), SF (fleet) and SM (minelaying) series.
Some of these specialist types were later renumbered in the standard SS series.
