USS Corsair (SS-435), a Tench-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the California rockfish, or a pirate or privateer, especially Turkish or Saracen. Her keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company in Groton, Connecticut. She was launched on 3 May 1946 sponsored by Mrs. O. M. Hustvedt, commissioned on 8 November 1946 with Commander A. S. Fuhrman in command, and reported to the Atlantic Fleet. Corsair was decommissioned on 1 February 1963 and scrapped later that year.
