USS Cuttlefish (SS-171)

USS Cuttlefish (SS-171) was a Cachalot-class submarine, marking the beginning of the modern American fleet submarine lineage. The Cachalot-class introduced composite diesel-electric drive and other innovations that would become standard in the Porpoise, Salmon, and Gato classes that followed. Our Cuttlefish gear speaks to anyone who understands submarine culture and the history behind every hull number in the fleet. This collection is designed for submarine veterans, their families, and serious military collectors.
