There have been 2 submarines in the U.S. Navy named for the Swordfish:

1. USS Swordfish (SS-193) was a WW2 Sargo-class submarine. She was reported as presumed lost on January 15, 1945, after failing to report by radio, or in case of radio failure, report to ports in either Saipan or Midway.

The USS Kete (369), also operating in the area around Okinawa, detected a submarine on radar believed to be Swordfish. Several hours later, Ketedetected heavy depth charging in the same area, and this is believed to be the cause of Swordfish's loss.

2. USS Swordfish (SSN-579) was a highly decorated submarine in the Pacific fleet. She was stricken from the Naval Register and entered the Submarine Recycling Program in 1989, and finally scrapped in 1995.
