A few highlights - In Grunion, Mannert L. Abele earned the Sub Force's first Navy Cross, when his boat vanished off Kiska in July 1942.
- Growler's skipper, Howard W. Gilmore, earned the Sub Force's first combat Medal of Honor for ordering his boat to dive after he was wounded 7 February 1943 by fire from provision ship Hayasaki and was unable to reach the hatch in time.
- Archer-Fish (Joe Enright) sank the largest aircraft carrier in combat, Shinano, 29 November 1944.
- Darter was the only U.S. boat in the Pacific War lost to grounding.
- Trigger became famous in Edward L. "Ned" Beach's book Submarine! (which was a kind of eulogy to her).
- Wahoo, commanded by the Sub Force's most famous skipper, Dudley W. "Mush" Morton, was the first U.S. sub into the Sea of Japan. She was sunk exiting in 1943 after a second excursion.
- Harder was commanded by Samuel D. Dealey, the only submariner of the war (perhaps the only one ever) to sink five enemy destroyers, four in a single patrol.
- Flasher was the top-scoring U.S. boat of the war, with 100,231 tons officially credited to her by the Joint Army-Navy Assessment Committee JANAC. (Many believe the JANAC figures are very inaccurate as to numbers of ships sunk.)
- And Gato (arguably) formed the basis of the largest class of submarines ever built, counting the Balao & Tench, which weren't substantially different.
