Archerfish — American special premium Tier X submarine.
One of the Balao-class submarines, a large series of U.S. Navy submarines that played a prominent role in the Allied victory in the Pacific. USS Archerfish was commissioned in September 1943 and made seven patrols during the next two years, charging to her account Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano, the largest warship ever sunk by a submarine.
