USS Haddock (SS-231)
, a ''Gato''-class submarine, was the second submarine of the United States Navy to be named for the haddock, a small edible Atlantic fish, related to the cod. A previous submarine had been named ''Haddock'' (SS-32), but was renamed ''K-1'' prior to her launching, so ''Haddock'' (SS-231) was the first to actually bear the name.
''Haddock'' (SS-231) was laid down at the Portsmouth Navy Yard on 31 March 1941. She was launched on 20 October 1941 (sponsored by Mrs. William H. Allen), and commissioned on 14 March 1942, Lieutenant Commander Arthur H. Taylor (Class of 1927) in command.
== First war patrol, July – September 1942 ==
After shakedown and training cruises off New England, ''Haddock'' sailed for the Pacific on 19 June 1942 and arrived Pearl Harbor 16 July. She departed on her first war patrol on 28 July, the first submarine to do so with the new SJ radar. This equipment added greatly to her power in seeking out and destroying enemy ships in darkness or reduced visibility.
Penetrating into the Bonin Islands–East China Sea area, ''Haddock'' attacked a freighter on the surface on 22 August, sinking troop transport Tatsuho Maru (6334 tons). Tatsuho Maru had suffered engine trouble and had fallen back; being left behind by her convoy making her easy prey for the new boat and crew. Haddock put a torpedo into her port side #4 hold where 10,000 gallons of aviation gasoline was stored. This caught fire and exploded. The ensuing damage took Tatsuho Maru down by the stern in five minutes, taking 26 passengers and 12 crewmen with her. In the Formosa Straits on 26 August ''Haddock'' fired four stern shots at ''Teinshum Maru'' (formally vichy french TAI SEUN HONG) but missed; the submarine swung around to bring her bow tubes to bear and sent the 2251 ton cargo ship to the bottom. ''Haddock'' patrolled off Okinawa before returning to Midway 19 September 1942.
