ww2dbaseCommissioned in Feb 1943 with Lieutenant Commander Ralph Lynch, Jr. in command, USS Mingo had her shakedown cruise off Long Island, New York, United States. After three weeks of operations with the torpedo station at New London, Connecticut, United States, she set sail for the Pacific Ocean via the Panama Canal. She departed for her first war patrol in Jun 1943, during which she damaged and sank several Japanese ships and bombarded Sorol, Palau Islands. During her second war patrol in the Central Pacific, she damaged a Japanese cruiser with a torpedo, while on her fourth war patrol, she sank Japanese destoyer Tamanami. In the Philippine Islands and Borneo regions, she sank four small enemy vessels during her fifth war patrol, despite her primary mission being on lifeguard station. She patrolled the South China Sea, Gulf of Siam, and the general Philippine Islands and Borneo area until Apr 1945.

ww2dbaseUSS Mingo was decommissioned on 1 Jan 1947 and placed in reserve. In May 1955, she was recommissioned for the purpose of preparation to be transferred to the Japanese Navy under the Military Assistance Program. As submarine Kuroshio, she served with the Japanese Navy until 1966. In 1971, she was sold to Japan for scrapping, but in 1973 she was sunk as a target.
