Japan/USN:
After seven war patrols and five battle stars in the Pacific War, Gato class submarine USS Mingo (SS-261) becomes the first submarine operated by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force as JS Kuroshio (SS-501).
She served on loan to the JMSDF from 1955 to 1966, then was transferred back to the US Navy. In 1971 she was sold back to the Japanese, who finally sunk her as a target in 1973
