USS Thrasher

USS Thrasher

USS "Thrasher" has been the name of three ships of the United States Navy, for the thrasher, a thrush-like bird known as a singer and mimic.

*The first "Thrasher" (SS-26), which served before World War I, was renamed "G-4" before she was launched.
*The second USS "Thrasher" was a civilian motorboat commissioned during World War I. Originally named "Petrel", she was renamed "Thrasher" to avoid confusion with "Petrel" (PG-2). At some point she lost the name "Thrasher" as well, becoming only SP-546.
*The third "Thrasher" (MSC-203) was a "Redwing"-class minesweeper that served during the early Cold War.
