The name GREENLING is a distinguished one in the United States submarine history, from the SS-213 with its twelve war patrols during World War II for which it received the Presidential Unit Commendation and Ten Battle Stars, to the SSN-614, one of the most decorated submarines in Groton. Each has been well constructed and well crewed, and in their own fashion, each has gone "in harm's way" and has served its country long and well. Both ships leave a rich legacy and high standard for the next submarine named GREENLING.
