ww2dbaseApogon was originally named Abadejo, but the name was changed on 24 Sep 1942 before the keel was laid down. After a shakedown cruise off New England, Apogon sailed for Pearl Harbor via Panama Canal for a three-week long training mission. On 3 Nov 1942, she patrolled between Truk and Kwajalein in the Central Pacific, indirectly supporting Operation Galvanic which landed American troops on the Gilbert Islands. She concluded her maiden patrol with the sinking of Japanese gunboat Daido Maru on 4 Dec. She remained active throughout the entire Pacific War, launching eight separate patrols. She was decommissioned in Apr 1946 and was destroyed at Bikini Atoll during atomic bomb test Baker of Operation Crossroads.

Apogon Operational Timeline
| 1943年7月16日 | Apogon was commissioned into service. |
| 1944年6月23日 | Submarines USS Guardfish, USS Thresher, USS Piranha, and USS Apogon effected a rendezvous 400 miles north of Wake Island and Apogon joined the "Mickey Finns" wolfpack. |
| 1944年7月1日 | Submarines USS Guardfish, USS Thresher, USS Piranha, and USS Apogon entered their assigned patrol area in the Luzon Strait. |
| 1944年7月11日 | Northeast of Luzon, Philippines, submarine USS Thresher detected a seven-ship southbound convoy. Thresher along with USS Guardfish, and USS Apogon began a coordinated stalking of the ships. |
| 1944年7月12日 | Submarines USS Guardfish, USS Thresher, USS Piranha, and USS Apogon attacked the convoy they had been tracking since the previous day. Apogon fired six torpedoes at an auxiliary ship with no hits, but Apogon's periscopes are damaged when she is rammed by a different ship. Piranha torpedoed one cargo ship. Thresher, on the opposite flank of the convoy, was detected by a Japanese escort ship. Thresher evaded but the chase took Thresher 20 miles away from the convoy. Apogon's damage was severe enough that she withdrew from the patrol area and set a course for Pearl Harbor, Hawaiʻi. |
| 1946年4月29日 | Apogon was decommissioned from service. |
