USS Chicolar (SS-464)
History
Namesake: Chicolar
Fate: Cancelled
General characteristics
Class and type: Balao-class submarine

USS Chicolar (SS-464) would have been a Balao-class submarine, the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the chicolar.

Since the boat's hull number falls in the range of the Tench class, in some references Chicolar is listed with that class. However, the "Register of Ships of the US Navy" places her in the Balao class.

The name Chicolar was assigned to the submarine SS–464, but construction was cancelled on 29 July 1944, before she was laid down.

Chicolar was also a fictional submarine in Edward L. Beach, Jr.'s novel Dust on the Sea
