ww2dbaseUSS Manta was commissioned in Dec 1944, and did not get underway from the east coast of the United States for the Pacific Ocean until the spring of 1945. She embarked on her first war patrol out of Pearl Harbor, US Territory of Hawaii in May 1945, patrolling the Kurile Islands in northern Japan. She was on her second war patrol for a week before the Pacific War ended. She was decommissioned in 1946. In 1949, she was recommissioned, serving largely as a target ship out of Key West, Florida, United States for the development of anti-submarine tactics. She was decommissioned for the second and final time in Dec 1955. In Apr 1960, she began serving as a training submarine for Naval Reserve personnel of the 3rd Naval District. She was sunk as a target for aircraft off Norfolk, Virginia, United States in Jul 1969.
