The USS Grunion (SS-216) was a Gato-class submarine that sank at Kiska, Alaska, during World War II. The keel of the submarin was laid down in 1941 and it was commissioned one year later. Sponsored by Mrs. Stanford C. Hooper, wife of Rear Admiral Hooper, it earned one battle star during World War II. Eventually, the USS Grunion was struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1942 and subsequently sunk off of Kiska due to accidents related to the circular run of its torpedo.
