USS Carbonero, Balao-class submarine in Pearl Harbor, United States

The USS Carbonero measured 312 feet in length with a beam of 27 feet and contained four General Motors diesel engines producing 5400 horsepower.

Commissioned in February 1945, the submarine conducted two war patrols near Taiwan and in the Gulf of Siam during the final months of World War II.

The vessel received its name from the carbonero, a saltwater fish species found in the waters of the West Indies region.

The submarine carried four forward torpedo tubes and two aft tubes, with a total capacity of 24 torpedoes for extended combat missions.

During Operation Dominic in 1962, the submarine positioned itself 30 miles from nuclear detonation tests to monitor the weapons effects.
