Talk:USS Clamagore

message: Neither Google nor FishBase nor unabridged OED has ever heard of a fish called "clamagore", either in English or a foreign language. So this may be another one of the made-up names. Stan 12:46, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: How should we characterize the source of the name? "Alleged" doesn't seem quite le mot juste. The description, "a blue parrot-fish found in the West Indies and Chesapeake Bay", sounds fairly specific, though on consideration the range seems perhaps too diverse, and maybe Chesapeake Bay is an implausible place for a parrotfish. —wwoods 07:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  There's also "said to be". I didn't tumble to the Chesapeake Bay ref the first time, obviously implausible for parrotfish and perhaps an inside joke, or else there used to be other types called "parrotfish" not mentioned in FishBase (one of my authoritative fish books from the 1960s mentions names for which there are zero Google hits, so lack of Google hits is not actually proof of nonexistence).

text: 'So there we were, having a few beers after work, and talking about--in addition to our serious problems--what to name the next batch of subs. "Clam!", George said, holding up a fried one. "We've never named a boat the USS Clam." Well, yeah, we said. We've never named a boat Barnacle either. Who'd want to go into battle as one of the 'Fightin' Filter Feeders'? "Hey", said Jimmy, "I stepped on a razor clam once; I needed ten stitches. My foot was a gory mess." Hmm, a gory clam? "You're in the Navy, son", said Chuck, "you've got to say 'Clam, a gory'". Clam-a-gory? Clamagore! "Good enough", I said, "who's got another idea? And who's buying the next round?' —wwoods 06:18, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  The crew apparently thought their boat was named for a parrotfish — see the patch I just uploaded. ➥the Epopt 22:41, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another suspicious name 

message: When I was little, I watched Blue's Clues a lot and in an episode entitled "What's Inside?", the mailbox segment showed two kids looking inside a submarine that resembled the Clamagore. I researched that episode and found nothing, can you see if you can find anything? 2001:5B0:28FF:1EF0:0:0:0:37 (talk) 03:12, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: UPDATE: I did some research on that episode and found out it was the USS Growler (SSG-577). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:5b0:28ff:ef0::3e (talk) 04:02, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Can anyone please tell me how and maybe why funds will be approved for this submarine to be sunk as an artificial reef and why this submarine will be sunk as an artificial reef?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clrichey (talk • contribs) 00:14, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

message: She seems to still be at Patriots Point as of February 2022, so this statement should be removed. Does anyone know her current status? Implacable18 (talk) 03:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
