USS Flier (SS-250)
, a ''Gato''-class submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the flier, a round sunfish widely known in the United States.
Her keel was laid down 30 October 1942 by Electric Boat Company of Groton, Connecticut. She was launched on 11 July 1943 (sponsored by Mrs. A. S. Pierce), and commissioned on 18 October 1943 with Lieutenant Commander John D. Crowley in command.〔
==First war patrol==
''Flier'' reached Pearl Harbor from New London, Connecticut, on 20 December 1943, and prepared for her first war patrol, sailing 12 January 1944.〔 However, the submarine ran aground near Midway Island on 16 January. , a submarine rescue ship, attempted to pull ''Flier'' free but ran aground herself and sank. ''Flier'' was eventually saved by and towed to first Pearl Harbor and then the Mare Island Navy Yard for repairs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USS Flier (SS-250), 1943-1944 )〕 On 21 May she sailed again for action, heading for a patrol area west of Luzon. She made her first contact on 4 June, attacking a well-escorted convoy of five merchantmen.〔 Firing three torpedoes at each of two ships, she sent the transport ''Hakusan Maru'' to the bottom and scored a hit on another ship, before clearing the area to evade countermeasures.〔〔
On 13 June 1944, ''Flier'' attacked a convoy of 11 ships, cargo carriers and tankers, guarded by at least six escorts. The alert behavior of the escorts during the attack resulted in a severe counterattack on ''Flier'' before she could observe what damage she had done to the convoy. On 22 June, she began a long chase after another large convoy, scoring four hits for six torpedoes fired at two cargo ships that day, and three hits for four torpedoes launched against another cargo ship of the same convoy the next day.〔
