ww2dbaseSubmarine USS Spot was commissioned into service in Aug 1944. She embarked on her war patrol in Dec 1944, departing from Pearl Harbor, US Territory of Hawaii as a part of a wolfpack; the war patrol would be very successful, USS Spot having sunk serveral Japanese cargo ships, tankers, and trawlers off the Chinese coast. She saw success in her subsequent two war patrols as well. WW2 ended when she was undergoing a scheduled overhaul at Pearl Harbor, US Territory of Hawaii. After some time with anti-submarine warfare training units in San Diego, California, United States, she was decommissioned in 1946 and was attached to the Pacific Reserve Fleet. In 1961, she was towed to Pearl Harbor for modernization in preparation for loaning to Chile, which took place in Jan 1962. Re-christened Simpson, she officially entered Chilean Navy service in Apr and remained in service until 1982. During that time, in 1975, she was sold to Chile.
