  USS Turbot (SS-427) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Turbot (SS-427), a Tench -class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the turbot, a large, brown and white flatfish, valued as a food.
Her keel was laid down on 13 November 1943 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by the Cramp Shipbuilding Company, but the contract for her construction was cancelled on 12 August 1945.
Her partially completed hulk was later launched and, in 1950, was assigned to the Naval Ship Research and Development Center, Annapolis, Maryland, where it was used for research and development in connection with the control and reduction of machinery noise in submarines.

Thus, his submarine was intended to operate largely in the mid-water region using porpoise-like diving and surfacing maneuvers, while Lake's vehicle was essentially optimized to run on the bottom.
USS Seal (later G-1, SS-19 1/2) was laid down in 1909 and became the first submarine that Simon Lake built for the U.S. Navy.
In November 1964, however, his memory was honored by the U.S. Navy in commissioning the submarine tender USS Simon Lake (AS-33), which subsequently served the Submarine Force for 35 years until her decommissioning in 1999.
