USS Flying Fish (SS-229)
USS ''Flying Fish'' (SS/AGSS-229), a ''Gato''-class submarine, was the first submarine and second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the flying fish, a family of fishes of tropic and warm temperate seas whose long winglike fins make it possible for them to move some distance through the air.
The keel of ''Flying Fish'' (SS-229) was laid down on 6 December 1940 by Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, Maine. She was launched 9 July 1941 and sponsored by Mrs. Dorothy K. Kimmel, wife Husband E. Kimmel,Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet). The boat was commissioned 10 December 1941, Lieutenant Commander Glynn "Donc" Donaho (Class of 1927) in command.
''Flying Fish'' is credited with having sunk a total of 58,306 tons of Japanese shipping and received 12 battle stars for World War II service.
==First war patrol - Battle of Midway==
''Flying Fish'' arrived at Pearl Harbor for final training 2 May 1942, and 15 days later was ordered out to patrol west of Midway, which was threatened by an expected Japanese attack. During the Battle of Midway 4 – 6 June, she and her sisters fanned out to scout and screen the island, at which she refitted from 9 – 11 June. Continuing her first full war patrol, she searched major shipping lanes in Empire waters (the seas around Japan) and scored a hit on a Japanese destroyer off Taiwan during the night of 3 July. She returned to Midway to refit on 25 July.
