USS Odax (SS-484)

Built to the Tench-class standard, USS Odax (SS-484) represented the pinnacle of American wartime submarine engineering. The Tench design refined the Balao-class with improved internal arrangement and better machinery, producing submarines that served effectively from the Pacific war through the early Cold War. Every item in our USS Odax collection represents a connection to the submarine force and the crews who made these boats legendary. Designed by veterans for veterans, family members, and historians who refuse to let these stories fade.
