USS Muskallunge (SS-262)
, a ''Gato''-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the muskallunge, a fish of the pike family found in the upper Mississippi Valley, the Great Lakes region, and northward.
Her keel was laid down 7 April 1942 by Electric Boat Company, Groton, Connecticut. She was launched 13 December 1942 (sponsored by Mrs. Merritt D. Graham, widow of Chief Torpedoman Graham who was lost in in July 1942), and commissioned 15 March 1943, Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) Willard A. Saunders (Class of 1927) in command.
== First war patrol, September 1943 – January 1944 ==
Following shakedown, the new submarine departed New London for the Pacific, arriving Pearl Harbor 7 August. She cleared Pearl Harbor 7 September for her first war patrol, taking station off the Palau Islands. ''Muskallunge'' carried the first electric torpedoes to be fired in the war by an American submarine. She made two attacks on Japanese convoys; although handicapped by malfunctioning torpedoes, she managed to damage a passenger freighter and a cargo ship. On 25 October ''Muskallunge'' returned to Pearl Harbor.
She sailed 27 November for her second war patrol, which was conducted in the western Carolines area and south of Guam. During this patrol ''Muskallunge'' scored hits on a tanker and two freighters, sinking one of the ''Noroto Maru'' class, before returning to Pearl Harbor 21 January 1944. From there, she went to the West Coast for overhaul.
