The Navy's newest Virginia-class
 submarine will be named the USS Wahoo in honor of the legacies of two 
previous submarines, including a storied World War II vessel that was 
sunk by a torpedo on Oct. 11, 1943. Later a new version was built and was the SS-565

Along with the Wahoo, the Navy also announced Wednesday that another 
future Virginia-class submarine will be named Tang, also in honor of a 
World War II boat, whose commander was awarded the Medal of Honor, and a Vietnam-era submarine numbered SS-563.
