WWII U.S. Sub Names

[LukeFF]

As I read more unit histories at Wikipedia, one thing has stood out very much in my mind - the Navy named their WWII boats after some ugly-ass fish! Take, for instance, my boat in my current career, the USS Pompano:

{Pompanos} are deep bodied and mackerel-like, typically silver colored and toothless with a forked tail and narrow base.

Yep, that about describes my current career. I attack a task force, fire all six torpedoes at two different ships, all with a good solution, and what's my reward for this?:

-Premature explosion
-Premature explosion
-Dud
-Dud
-Premature explosion
-Dud

I'm starting to think someone up in Command has it in for me. "Yep, let's give that new captain a boat named after a toothless fish! It'll match our torpedo performance perfectly!"
