USS Pintado
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS Pintado, named in honor of the pintado, a large mackerel-like fish, whose elongated spots suggested the Spanish word meaning "painted", found along the Florida coast and in the West Indies.
- The first Pintado, (SS-387), was a Balao-class submarine, commissioned in 1944 and struck in 1967.
- The second Pintado, (SSN-672), was a Sturgeon-class submarine, commissioned in 1971 and struck in 1998.
