USS Salmon (1071 words)
Salmon, the second of a class of two radar-picket submarines and the largest and most powerful conventional-powered submarines in the United States Navy, conducted her shakedown cruise between 19 February and 10 May 1957, ranging from Newport, R.I., to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Salmon was the first submarine to earn a Golden "E" and was to better that record by winning hashmarks signifying retention of that status during 1963 and 1964.
Salmon's fifth deployment to the western Pacific was from 20 March to 4 October 1967.
