	Silversides
		Silversides bored in on the ill-fated enemy ships, fishnet and all, and fired three torpedoes at the first ship, with two hits that tore her stern open.
		Silversides set sail on 5 October for her seventh war patrol in which she sank four enemy ships in waters ranging from the Solomons to the coast of New Guinea.
		Silversides' fourteenth and final war patrol began with departure from Pearl Harbor on 30 May. This patrol was spent on lifeguard station in support of air strikes on Honshu, Japan.

		SILVERSIDES was named the "Lucky Boat" because of her exceptional survival record.
		SILVERSIDES' 3" deck gun was tested early on her first war patrol when she engaged an enemy trawler on her way to Japanese waters.

	National Park Service: World War II Warships in the Pacific
		USS Clamagore does not appear to meet the criteria for designation because of the loss of her World War II integrity and her lack of service in the Pacific.
		USS Torsk appears to meet the criteria for designation because she is the only surviving Tench class submarine that saw service in the Pacific.
		USS Torsk is particularly significant in that she fired the last torpedoes of World War II and is credited with sinking the last Japanese combat ships to be lost in the war.

	The USS Silversides (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Since 1987, the Silversides has been tied to a dock in Muskegon, Mich., it's hull resting (slightly tilted) on the bottom of the small channel connecting Lake Muskegon and Lake Michigan.
		At one point, Japanese destroyers besieged the Silversides, rudely dropping depth charges in the sub's general vicinity and breaking all local noise ordinances.
		But somewhere far away, people on other submarines--and destroyers and frigates and carriers and guided-missile cruisers--were heading to the Persian Gulf, a corner of the world which was not peaceful and quiet.
