Background
About the ship
The most abundant American submarines of World War II. They contributed substantially to the success of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific War. The primary objective of the new type of submarine, which was also capable of long-distance independent voyages, was fully realized in the design: these vessels were crew-comfortable and carried ample supplies of fuel and torpedoes. USS Balao completed ten combat missions during World War II, earning nine battle stars.
