USS Tang

Two submarines of the United States Navy have been named USS Tang, after the tang, or surgeonfish, especially of the several West Indian species.

The first Tang (SS-306) was a Balao-class submarine sunk by her own torpedo during World War II.
The second Tang (SS/AGSS-563) served through the first half of the Cold War.
