"Scabbardfish" participated in reconnaissance missions during the Korean War.

This marked a time when submarines were being used increasingly for special operations including amphibious raids and other clandestine missions.

Famous quotes containing the word war:
“Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.”
—Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 44:14.
