Description
US NAVY SS-420 USS TIRANTE PATCH - Tirante was a Tench-class (SS-417) Diesel-powered submarine, named for the Tirante, or "Tyrant Fish," which is a voracious, agile, thin-bodied fish with a wedge-shaped head, a large mouth, and a fierce row of canine teeth, suitable for catching and holding prey. When it encounters an enemy, the Tirante fish attacks without hesitation, having a ferocious disposition, as well as an insatiable appetite. When its lust for battle leads it into difficulty it usually heads for the bottom, where its ability to navigate deep depths enables it to avoid its pursuers. The Tirante fish frequents tropical or semi-tropical areas.
