USS Pike (SS-173)

As a Porpoise-class boat, USS Pike (SS-173) was part of the generation of submarines that bridged the gap between the experimental V-boats of the 1920s and the fleet submarines that dominated the Pacific war. Her design contributed to the evolution that produced the Gato-class. Every item in our USS Pike 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.
