USS Crevalle (SS-291)
USS ''Crevalle'' (SS/AGSS-291), a ''Balao''-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the crevalle, the yellow mackerel, a food fish, found on both coasts of tropical America, and in the Atlantic as far north as Cape Cod. "Crevalle" is pronounced "cre-VAL-ley," with the accent on the second syllable.
''Crevalle'' was launched 22 February 1943 by Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine; sponsored by Mrs. C. W. Fisher; and commissioned 24 June 1943, Lieutenant Commander H. G. Munson in command.
== First and second war patrols, October 1943 – February 1944 ==
''Crevalle'' arrived at Brisbane, Australia, from New London 11 October 1943, and after replenishing there and at Darwin, put to sea 27 October on her first war patrol, in the Sulu and South China Seas. On 15 November she sank a passenger-cargo ship of almost 7,000 tons, and made two more attacks on merchant ships before returning to Fremantle, Australia, for refit 7 December.
Her second war patrol, in the South China Sea from 30 December 1943 to 15 February 1944, found her attacking a submerged Japanese submarine on 7 January, only to know the frustration of premature torpedo explosion. In a hazardous special mission, she laid mines off Saigon on 14 and 15 January, and on 26 January sent a Japanese freighter to the bottom. A surface action with a small patrol boat on 11 February sank the enemy craft, and on 15 February, ''Crevalle'' fired at several targets in a large convoy, prudently clearing the area before the results of her firing could be verified.
