USS Pintado

USS Pintado

Two ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS "Pintado", named in honor of the pintado, a large mackerel-like fish, whose elongated spots suggested the Spanish word meaning "painted", found along the Florida coast and in the West Indies.

* The first "Pintado", (SS-387), was a "Balao"-class submarine, commissioned in 1944 and struck in 1967.
* The second "Pintado", (SSN-672), was a "Sturgeon"-class submarine, commissioned in 1971 and struck in 1998.
