USS *Bugara* (SS-331) was a Balao-class submarine commissioned by the United States Navy in November 1944. She served with distinction during the final months of World War II, conducting three war patrols in the Pacific and famously sinking several Japanese vessels, including a unique surface engagement where she destroyed multiple small ships with gunfire. After the war, *Bugara* participated in peacetime operations, training exercises, and special missions throughout the Cold War, including service during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. She was finally decommissioned in 1970 and tragically lost under tow in 1971 en route to be scrapped.
