USS Scorpion (SS-278)

On 3 January 1944, she departed Midway on her last war patrol, heading toward the East China and Yellow Seas. On the 5th, she attempted to rendezvous with sister ship HERRING (SS-233) to transfer an injured man. Heavy seas prevented the transfer, and SCORPION continued west. She was not heard from again. Assumed to be the victim of a Japanese mine, she was declared lost on 6 March 1944.
