USS Bonefish (SS-582)

USS **Bonefish** (SS-582) was a Barbel-class diesel-electric submarine commissioned by the United States Navy in 1959. She served primarily in the Pacific Fleet, conducting numerous patrols and participating in training exercises during the Cold War, enhancing anti-submarine warfare capabilities. On April 24, 1988, Bonefish suffered a catastrophic fire caused by an electrical short, resulting in the tragic loss of three crew members. The damage from the incident led to her decommissioning later that year, marking the end of her nearly three-decade service.
