Salmon class submarine

Salmon class submarine

The "Salmon" class of United States Navy submarines were an incremental improvement over the "Porpoise" class, and was in turn almost immediately superseded by the "Sargo" class.

The "Salmon" class sank 33 enemy ships during the Pacific campaign before they ended their careers in the training role and as targets.
