USS Eel (SS-354)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Eel (SS-354), would have been a Balao-class submarine, the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the eels, an order of voracious, snakelike fishes, having a smooth, slimy skin and no pelvic fins.
Eel’s construction was canceled on 23 October 1944.
A fictitious Eel appears in Edward L. Beach's novel, Run Silent, Run Deep.
