USS Gar (SS-206) : ウィキペディア英語版 | USS Gar (SS-206)
USS ''Gar'' (SS-206), a ''Tambor''-class submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the gar, a fish of the ''Lepisosteidae'' family. Her keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company in Groton, Connecticut. She was launched on 7 November 1940 sponsored by Mrs. George T. Pettengill, wife of Rear Admiral Pettengill, and commissioned at New London on 14 April 1941 with Lieutenant D. McGregor in command. ==Depth Charge Tests==
During 1941, ''Gar'' along with ''Trout'' and ''Tambor'', was used as a target in the study of the effectiveness of depth charges. She was submerged to periscope depth and subjected to explosions of 300lbs of TNT set at various distances from the submarine. The data generated by these tests influenced the design of shock proofing in later submarines.〔http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/rep/WDR/WDR58/WDR58-18.html〕
