USS Chivo (SS-341)
USS ''Chivo'' (SS-341), a submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the "chivo"" or big-scaled goatfish ''Pseudopenaeus grandisquamis'', a fish inhabiting the Pacific Ocean between Panama and Mexico.
''Chivo'' was launched 14 January 1945 by Electric Boat Company, Groton, Conn.; sponsored by Mrs. Raymond E. Baldwin, wife of the governor of Connecticut; and commissioned 28 April 1945, Lieutenant Commander William R. Crutcher, USNR, in command.
== 1945–1950 ==
''Chivo'' departed New London 7 June 1945 for Key West where she trained and exercised briefly at the sound school and experimental torpedo range, before sailing on to Pearl Harbor in company with and . While the submarine was preparing for her first war patrol, hostilities ended; ''Chivo'' then remained at Pearl Harbor, operating locally with other ships of the Pacific Fleet. Assigned to Submarine Squadron Seven (SubRon 7), she returned to the States in October, basing out of San Diego, California for local operations which continued until January 1946, when ''Chivo'' sailed for a short tour of duty operating out of Subic Bay in the Philippines. Returning to San Diego in May, the submarine exercised along the west coast for the next 15 months, a period culminating in an overhaul at Mare Island Naval Shipyard.
Growing tensions in Asia, provoked in part by French conflict with the Vietminh in Indochina and disagreements over the future of Korea, encouraged the Navy to conduct more realistic training for submariners. As part of this general approach, ''Chivo'' began a three-month simulated war patrol in August 1947 which took her to Suva, Fiji Islands; Guam; and Japan; before she arrived back at San Diego in November. West coast duty continued for her until mid-1949 when she was transferred to the Atlantic Fleet, arriving at her new home port of Naval Station Key West and Submarine Squadron Four (SubRon 4) on 4 July 1949. During her transit there the boat's movement reports describe one of the hazards of sailing in the warm waters in the West Indies when ''Chivo'' "struck unidentified submerged object, possibly turtle." The submarine provided training and services for Atlantic Fleet ships in intertype exercises until 30 October 1950 when she arrived at New London to begin an extensive Greater Underwater Propulsion Program (GUPPY 1-A) overhaul and modernization. The modifications included streamlining the hull and superstructure, adding a snorkel to allow diesel engine operation while at periscope depth and increasing overall battery power.
