USS Runner (SS-476)
USS ''Runner'' (SS/AGSS-476), a ''Tench''-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the runner, an amberfish inhabiting subtropical waters. Her keel was laid down on 10 July 1944 by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard of Kittery, Maine. She was launched on 17 October 1944 sponsored by Mrs. R.H. Bass, the wife of the prospective commanding officer, and commissioned on 6 February 1945 with Commander R.H. Bass in command.
==World War II service==
After shakedown and preliminary training off the Atlantic coast, she departed New London 5 April 1945, and arrived at Pearl Harbor on 21 May 1945, after intensive training at Key West, Florida, and Balboa, Panama. Her first war patrol was off the east coast of Honshū, Japan, where her primary mission was to scout for the presence of defensive minefields guarding the Japanese home islands. On 10 July while on patrol in the Sea of Japan, she intercepted two worthwhile targets, a tanker and a minesweeper. The tanker and her two escorts escaped the spread of torpedoes fired at them, but Japanese minesweeper W-27 was splintered by three of ''Runners torpedoes. Before departing station, ''Runner'' received 16 downed aviators from and for transfer to Guam, where she arrived on 24 July.
Her second patrol began a week prior to the Japanese capitulation and by the time ''Runner'' arrived on station off the east coast of Honshū, peace had come. ''Runner'', with ten other US submarines entered Tokyo Bay on 31 August and represented the US submarine service at the formal surrender ceremonies. ''Runner'' and her sister submarines departed Japan on 3 September, arriving Pearl Harbor on 12 September. She continued east until reaching New London, Connecticut, on 6 October. A few weeks later, in company with other vessels of Submarine Squadron 6, ''Runner'' proceeded south arriving for duty at Balboa, Panama, on 14 February 1946. For the next three years, ''Runner'' was based at Panama and participated in annual fleet exercises in the Caribbean Sea.
