The USS Wahoo (SS-238) was a Gato-class submarine assigned to the Pacific theatre. Laid down at Mare Island Naval Shipyard, the USS Wahoo (SS-238) was the first submarine to be named after this fish, which can be found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas. The submarine was struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1943, after receiving the World War Two Victory Medal, a Navy Presidential Unit Citation, as well as 6 battle stars. Eventually, it was sunk by Japanese ships and aircraft in La Pérouse Strait.
