ww2dbaseUSS Sunfish entered service in Jul 1942. Upon completing her shakedown cruise in the San Diego Bay area in southern California, United States and her post-shakedown repairs at San Francisco, California, she headed out to the US Territory of Hawaii on 26 Oct, arriving five days later at Pearl Harbor. Her first war patrol took her to waters off the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido, Japan, where she laid a minefield at the entrance of Iseno Imi. Although this first war patrol would result in only damaging one single Japanese transport, she would go on to have nine successful war patrols during the Pacific War, including a wolfpack attack with USS Peto and USS Spadefish on 17 Nov 1944 that saw the sinking of six ships, including escort carrier Jinyo (credit of which was given to USS Spadefish). At the end of the war, she was decommissioned at Mare Island Navy Yard in Vallejo, California, United States. She would remain a classroom submarine for US Naval Reserve sailors until she was struck and sold for scrap in 1960.

The correct engine model installed in many WWII Gato class diesel submarines is a Fairbanks-Morse Model 38D 8-⅛ 9-cylinder. It is often shown as Model 38D8-? 9-cylinder in your records shown on the Internet ww2db.
