Unit history
Carrying a Balao-class hull number, USS Mero (SS-378) was built with the improved high-tensile steel pressure hull that distinguished the Balao design from its Gato-class predecessors. This allowed deeper operating depth, giving her crew a better chance of survival when Japanese escorts closed in with depth charges.
The USS Mero collection exists because every boat in the fleet carried a crew that deserves to be remembered. Our apparel and memorabilia are designed for the submarine community, military families, and anyone drawn to the authentic history of undersea warfare.
