USS Razorback (SS-394)
The USS Razorback (SS-394), a Balao-class submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the razorback, a species of whale (Balaenoptera physalus) found in the far southern reaches of the Pacific Ocean. In 2004, the state of Arkansas adopted the submarine, although it was not named after the University of Arkansas mascot. Her keel was laid down by the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine on 9 September 1943. She was launched on 27 January 1944 along with Redfish (SS-395) and Ronquil (SS-396). Scabbardfish (SS-397) was launched a few hours later, making 27 January 1944 the first and only time the US Navy has launched four submarines at one shipyard in a single day. Razorback was sponsored by Mrs. H. F. D. Davis, and commissioned on 3 April 1944 with Lieutenant Commander Albert M. Bontier in command. Coins Made in the USA.
