USS Perch (SS-176) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia USS Perch (SS-176) was a Porpoise-class submarine of the United States Navy, the first Navy ship to be named for the perch, a type of fish belonging to the family Percidae. In a night attack on a large merchantman off the eastern coast of Sulawesi (Celebes), Perch was hit in the superstructure, forward of the pressure hull of the conning tower, by a high explosive projectile which blew away the bridge deck, punctured the antenna trunk and temporarily put her radio out of commission. In the spring of 1939, Perch operated with the fleet on its cruise to the East Coast. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/USS_Perch_(SS-176)   (815 words)
