USS Wahoo (SS-518)

USS "Wahoo" (SS-518), a "Tench"-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the wahoo, a dark blue food fish of Florida and the West Indies. Her construction was authorized but the contract for her construction was cancelled on 29 August 1944. The name "Wahoo" was reassigned to SS-516, which had already been laid down.
