USS Piper (SS/AGSS-409), a Balao-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named after the piper, a fish of the halfbeak family found in warm seas mostly along the shore. It swims at the surface, occasionally leaping into the air, and is named from the noise it makes when taken out of the water. Piper, ex-Awa, was laid down 15 March 1944 by the Portsmouth Navy Yard, in Kittery, Maine; launched 26 June 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Charles W. Wilkins, wife of Captain Wilkins; commissioned 23 August 1944, Commander Bernard F. McMahon in command.
