USS Stingray

USS Stingray

Two submarines of the United States Navy have been named USS "Stingray" for the stingray, a large ray with a whip-like tail and sharp spines capable of inflicting severe wounds:

* The first, "Stingray" (Submarine No. 13), was a "C"-class submarine that was renamed "C-2".
* The second, "Stingray" (SS-186), was a "Salmon"-class submarine that served during World War II.

A fictitious third "Stingray" — the diesel-engine submarine "Stingray" (SS-161) — is featured in the 1996 comedy film "Down Periscope".
