USS Skate (SS-305)
USS ''Skate'' (SS-305) was a United States Navy ''Balao''-class submarine named for the skate, a type of ray.
''Skate'' was laid down at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard of Vallejo, California, 1 August 1942. She was launched on 4 March 1943, sponsored by Mrs. George P. Shamer and commissioned on 15 April with Commander Eugene B. McKinney in command.
==First War Patrol==
Following shakedown off the California coast, ''Skate'' sailed to Pearl Harbor and on 25 September 1943, headed toward Wake Island and her first war patrol during which she performed lifeguard duty for the carriers during airstrikes against that Japanese-held island. At dawn on 6 October, the submarine was strafed by enemy aircraft, mortally wounding one of her officers as he attempted to assist wounded airmen from a liferaft. The next day, ''Skate'' closed to within 5,000 yards (4,600 m) of the beach, in the face of heavy enemy bombardment, to rescue two downed aviators. While searching for a third, she was attacked by a Japanese dive-bomber, and was forced to dive to escape. After a short return to Midway Island, ''Skate'' returned to Wake Island and rescued four additional airmen before terminating her first patrol at Midway on 29 October.
