Spanish Navy Service
Transferred to Spain on 1 October 1972, former Picuda was renamed Narciso Monturiol (S-33). The submarine was stricken from the U.S. Navy's Naval Vessel Register on 1 November 1974 and was purchased outright by Spain on 18 November 1974. In 1975, she was laid up with mechanical defects and finally deleted from the Armada Española on 30 April 1977, her name being shifted to former ex-Jallao (SS-368), which the Spanish had acquired.

“I call to mind the navy great
That the Greeks brought to Troye town,
And how the boistous winds did beat
Their ships, and rent their sails adown;
Till Agamemnon’s daughter’s blood
Appeased the gods that them withstood.”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
“Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there’s no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds.”
