	USS Growler
		Growler, a wooden sloop, was purchased as Experiment on Lake Ontario during 1812, and was first commanded by Sailing Master M. Mix.
		Growler took part in attacks on Kingston, York, and Fort George and the engagement with the British squadron 7 to 11 August 1813.

	Growler
		Maneuvering inside the escorts, Growler fired two torpedoes and saw them hit; then, as her war diary reports, she was in the unfortunate predicament of being about 400 yards from the destroyer and had to dive without being able to continue the attack.
		Growler's fifth, sixth, and seventh patrols, out of Brisbane to the Bismarck-Solomons area, were relatively uneventful; heavy enemy air cover and a lack of targets resulted in her coming home empty-handed from all but the fifth, on which she sank the passenger-cargo strip Miyadono Marti.
		Growler returned to Majuro 16 April, and departed there 14 May to take up patrol in the Marianas-Eastern Philippines-Luzon area, where the first stages of the attack on the Marianas and the Battle of the Philippine Sea were getting underway.

		Growler surfaced with only superficial damage., The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Planning Superintendent, Lieutenant Commander Hank Hoffman, went topside and determined that an unused cable fitting opening had been plugged with a temporary blank for dockside tests which had not been replaced prior to sea trials.
		Prior to her first deterrent strike patrol, in nine launch operations Growler had lost one missile at launch and none while in flight (Photo #12).
		In the case of Grayback and Growler these engines were also shock and sound isolated, previously done only in the three "K" class hunter- killer submarines of the early 1950's.

		When GROWLER was commissioned on August 30, 1958 at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kettery, Maine, she joined her sistership GRAYBACK and became the fourth submarine in the Navy designed and built to launch strategic deterrent cruise missiles armed with a nuclear warhead.
		Unlike today's nuclear-powered submarines that can launch cruise missiles and ballistic missiles while submerged, GROWLER and GRAYBACK along with the earlier TUNNY and BARBERO had to surface in order to launch their missiles.
		Although primitive when compared to missile submarines patrolling all the oceans of the world today, GROWLER patrolled the vastness of the Pacific Ocean during the early days of nuclear deterrent to preserve the peace and ensure the United States could instantly retaliate if we were attacked.
