USS Tiru (SS-416)
 USS Tiru (SS-416) a Balao-class submarine was a ship of the United States Navy named for the tiru. Tiru—laid down on 17 April 1944 at Vallejo Calif. by the Mare Island Navy Yard—remained uncompleted for three years as a result of the curtailment of the submarine building program at the end of World War II. In the fall of 1947 the Navy decided to complete Tiru as a Guppy (Greater Underwater Propulsive Power) snorkel boat.
