USS Needlefish (SS-379) would have been a Balao-class submarine, the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the needlefish, any of a family of voracious elongate teleost fishes resembling, but not related to, the fresh water gars.
The name Needlefish was assigned to the submarine SS–379 on August 23, 1942, but construction was cancelled on July 29, 1944, before she was laid down.
