USS Kingfish (SS-234)
, a ''Gato''-class submarine, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the kingfish, a fish found along the Atlantic coast of the United States.
''Kingfish'' (SS-234) was laid down on 29 August 1941 by Portsmouth Navy Yard. She was launched 2 March 1942 (sponsored by Mrs. Harry A. Stuart, wife of Rear Admiral Harry A. Stuart), and commissioned 20 May 1942, with Lieutenant Commander Vernon L. "Rebel" Lowrance (Class of 1930) in command.
== First war patrol, September – November 1942 ==
''Kingfish'' arrived at Pearl Harbor from New London 31 August 1942, and sailed on her first war patrol from there 9 September. Patrolling close to Japan's coast, ''Kingfish'' sighted a three-ship convoy and fired a three-torpedo spread at the last freighter, scoring one hit. Unable to determine the extent of the damage due to an uncomfortably efficient barrage of depth charges (lasting 18 hours), ''Kingfish'' successfully outwitted her attackers and cleared the area.
Sighting freighter ''Yomei Maru'' 1 October, ''Kingfish'' fired a three torpedo spread which sent her to the bottom. Going deep for the inevitable depth charging, ''Kingfish'' reloaded her tubes and continued scouting shipping lanes. Four days later she sighted and torpedoed a freighter off Muroto Zaki but could not verify the sinking. Two weeks of frustration followed due to lack of targets. On 23 October the freighter ''Seiko Maru'' was sighted and sent to the bottom by two torpedoes. Completing her first war patrol, ''Kingfish'' arrived Midway Atoll 3 November.
