USS Batfish
The USS Batfish, in seven war patrols, claimed a total of 15 ships sunk and damaged 3 others. She is also credited with the sinking of 3 enemy submarines.
“For extraordinary heroism in action against enemy Japanese combatant forces during the sixth War Patrol in the South China Sea from December 30, 1944 to March 3, 1945. Persistent and aggressive in her search for vital targets, the USS Batfish relentlessly tracked down the enemy and in three separate, brilliantly executed attacks, launched her torpedoes with devastating speed and skill and demolished three Japanese submarines. By the destruction of these formidable and threatening hostile Fleet units in a single War Patrol, the Batfish contributed significantly to the successful completion of the war. The courage, superb seamanship and gallant fighting spirit of her officers and men reflect the highest credit upon herself and the United States Naval Services.”
The USS Batfish now resides in Muskogee Oklahoma at the Muskogee War Memorial Park
