LANCETFISH factoid - while tied up alongside Boston Navy Yard Pier 8, LANCETFISH flooded through her after torpedo tube and sank 15 March, 1945. She was raised 8 days later and decommissioned 24 March. Assigned to the Atlantic Reserve Fleet in uncompleted condition, she was transferred to the 1st Naval District 27 February 1947 and was assigned to the New London Group 9 December 1952. In commission for less than a month, she narrowly missed her chance for a short WWII war patrol record.
