USS Puffer (SS-268)
USS ''Puffer'' (SS-268), a ''Gato''-class submarine, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the puffer, a fish which inflates its body with air.
''Puffer'' (SS-268) was laid down by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Co., Manitowoc, Wisc., 16 February 1942; launched 21 November 1942; sponsored by Mrs. Ruth B. Lyons (granddaughter of the oldest employee at Manitowac, Christ. Jacobson, Sr.); and commissioned 27 April 1943, Lt. Comdr. M. J. Jensen in command.
''Puffer'' was transported down the Mississippi to New Orleans on a special floating drydock, having periscopes installed en route. After receiving torpedoes and ammunition, she exercised off Panama for a month, and then headed across the Pacific to Australia. ''Puffer'' arrived there in early September 1943.
==First and second war patrols, September 1943 – January 1944==
Her first war patrol, to intercept Japanese commerce in the Makassar Strait–Celebes Sea area, 7 September to 17 October, resulted in several damaged ships but no sinkings. On October 9, after damaging a merchantman, she endured a nearly 38 hour depth charging from 2 Japanese sub chasers and was slightly damaged. On 24 November ''Puffer'' sailed on her 2nd patrol, in the Sulu Sea and the approaches to Manila. On 13 December, she made a successful attack on freighter ''Teiko Maru'' (ex-Vichy French steamship ''D'Artagnan''). On 20 December she sank 820-ton destroyer ''Fuyō'', and on 1 January 1944, 6,707-ton freighter ''Ryuyo Maru'', before putting in to Fremantle for refit 12 January.
