USS Bergall (SS-320)
USS Bergall (SS-320), a Balao-class submarine, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the bergall, a small fish of the New England coast. Her keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company in Groton, Connecticut. She was later sold to Turkey and operated as TCG Turgutreis (S 342) until scrapped some time in 1977.
The Bergall is the subject of an episode of the syndicated television anthology series, The Silent Service, which aired during the 1957-1958 season.

by: New Found GloryI sat and stared at the sky.
I knew I'd find myself there again.
I wonder how else to cope with the air.
The air that brings me this luck.
I'm unlucky, that's just me
Seems what used to be has changed.
And I feel it coming again
I feel it coming with the wind
I feel it coming again
I feel it breaking with the wind
And I know, I won't feel it again if I just played along.
"Stupid games are for stupid people" and they end just like a song.
A song with no beginning, a song that has no meaning.
Just like this one, just like this one...
