USS Wahoo (SS-238) was a Gato-class diesel-electric submarine, the first United States Navy ship to be named for the wahoo. Construction started before the U.S. entered World War II, and she was commissioned after entry. Wahoo was assigned to the Pacific theatre. She gained fame as an aggressive and highly successful submarine after Lieutenant Commander Dudley Walker "Mush" Morton became her skipper. She was sunk by Japanese aircraft in October 1943 while returning home from a patrol in the Sea of Japan. The wreck was discovered on October 31, 2006 in about 213 ft of water in the La Perouse (Soya) Strait.
This set from COBI of the USS Wahoo submarine features moveable rudder, dive planes and gun mount. The kit also comes with a stand.
