USSTurbot (SS-427), a Tench -class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the turbot, a large, brown and white flatfish, valued as a food.
Her keel was laid down on 13 November 1943 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by the Cramp Shipbuilding Company, but the contract for her construction was cancelled on 12 August 1945.
Her partially completed hulk was later launched and, in 1950, was assigned to the Naval Ship Research and Development Center, Annapolis, Maryland, where it was used for research and development in connection with the control and reduction of machinery noise in submarines.
