USS Thresher (SS-200)
, a ''Tambor''-class submarine, was the first United States Navy ship to be named for the thresher shark. Her keel was laid down 27 May 1939 at the Electric Boat Company of Groton, Connecticut. She was launched on 27 March 1940 sponsored by Mrs. Claud A. Jones and commissioned on 27 August 1940, with Lieutenant Commander William Lovett Anderson (Annapolis, Class of 1926) in command.
== Sea trials ==
Following training and sea trials, ''Thresher'' got underway from New London, Connecticut on 25 October 1940 for engineering trials in Gravesend Bay, New York, and shakedown off the Dry Tortugas.
She operated along the East Coast through the end of 1940 and into 1941. She set sail on 1 May 1941 for the Caribbean Sea, ''en route'' for Pearl Harbor, transiting the Panama Canal on 9 May, stopping in San Diego, through 21 May, and arriving at Pearl Harbor on 31 May. She operated out of the Hawaiian Islands into the fall of 1941, as tensions rose in the Far East and the U.S. prepared for war in both oceans.
''Thresher'' and her sister-ship departed the Submarine Base Pearl Harbor on 31 October 1941 on a simulated war patrol north of Midway Island; both carried live torpedoes. ''Tautog'' returned first; and, on 7 December, ''Thresher'' neared the Hawaiian Islands to end her cruise. Escorted by the destroyer through Hawaiian waters lest she be mistaken for a hostile submarine, ''Thresher'' received word at 08:10 Pearl Harbor was under attack by Japanese aircraft.
