USS Tullibee (SS-284)
USS ''Tullibee'' (SS-284), a , was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the tullibee. Her keel was laid down on 1 April 1942 at Mare Island, California, by the Mare Island Navy Yard. She was launched on 11 November 1942 sponsored by Mrs. Kenneth C. Hurd; and commissioned on 15 February 1943, Commander Charles F. Brindupke in command.
''Tullibee'' held shakedown training from 8–30 April 1943 and departed for Hawaii on 8 May. She arrived at Pearl Harbor on 15 May and held further training exercises in Hawaiian waters. Numerous air fitting leaks developed, and she was docked for repairs twice. When this proved ineffective, the submarine entered the navy yard until 11 July.
==First war patrol==
On 19 July, ''Tullibee'' got underway for the Western Caroline Islands and her first war patrol. On 28 July, she sighted a passenger-cargo ship, accompanied by an escort and an aircraft that prevented her attack. On 5 August, the submarine began patrolling the Saipan-Truk traffic lanes. Five days later, she sighted smoke on the horizon that proved to be three freighters with an escort. ''Tullibee'' closed the range to ; launched one torpedo at the ship on the right and three at the vessel on the left. As the submarine fired the first torpedo, a ship rammed her and bent her number one periscope. She went deep and was depth charged by the escort as the ships sped away. As the torpedoes had been set to run at a depth of — too deep for the draft of the largest target — none of the torpedoes exploded.
On 14 August, ''Tullibee'' sighted a convoy of three freighters with an escort and began an end-around run to get into good attack position. She launched a torpedo from a range of and went deep. It missed, and she returned to periscope depth to fire three torpedoes at the last ship. It apparently saw their wakes as it turned and combed them. The submarine again went deep. When she surfaced, the targets had escaped. On 22 August, ''Tullibee'' sighted a convoy of five ships escorted by two destroyers; closed to ; and launched three torpedoes at the nearest freighter. Two minutes later, she fired three more at another ship. As she went deep to avoid a destroyer heading her way, she heard one explosion. She soon heard the bursts of two more torpedo explosions, followed by breaking up noises. When she surfaced, she sighted over 1000 empty oil drums, but no ships. Postwar examination of Japanese records indicated that ''Tullibee'' had damaged one freighter and had sunk the passenger-cargo ship ''Kaisho Maru''. The patrol terminated when the submarine reached Midway Island on 6 September.
