She was the only ship of the United States Navy named for a type of shark. She was launched on September 14, 1938 out of Portsmouth. Just Months later on May 23, 1939 the USS Squalus went down off the Isles of Shoals. Failure of the main induction valve caused the flooding of the aft torpedo room, both engine rooms, and the crew's quarters, drowning 26 men. Quick action by the crew prevented the other compartments from flooding; paving the way for 33 survivors to be rescued from the ocean floor some 40+ fathoms down. This is the incredible story of the USS Squalus submarine.
