  USS Narwhal (SS-167) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Narwhal (SS-167), the lead ship of her class of submarine and one of the "V-boats", was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the narwhal, a gray and white arctic whale which averages 20 feet in length.
Consequently, Narwhal was one of five docked submarines caught by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in the early morning of 7 December 1941.
Narwhal was loaded down with 92 tons of ammunition and stores and a party of ten for her seventh war, from 23 October to 22 November.
