USS Torsk
Submarine of the United States
About
USS Torsk (hull number SS-423), is a Tench-class submarine built for the United States Navy during World War II, currently part of the museum ship fleet of Historic Ships in Baltimore.
Armed with ten torpedo tubes, the Tench-class submarines were incremental developments of the highly-successful Gato-class submarines that formed the backbone of the US Navy's submarine force during the war. Torsk was laid down at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in June 1944, was launched in September that year, and commissioned in mid-December.
