USS Trout
From Free net encyclopedia
Two submarines of the United States Navy have been named USS Trout for the trout fish.
- The first USS Trout (SS-202), a Tambor-class submarine, was lost during World War II.
- The second USS Trout (SS-566), a Tang-class submarine, is the only fully-functional diesel-electric submarine owned by the United States Navy. In superb condition -- her new batteries have never been filled with electrolyte -- she is slated to be scrapped or sunk as a target.
