Den USS Requin SS-481 was a Tench-class submarine that served in the United States Navy from 1945 to 1968. It was the only ship named after the requin, a French word for shark. The Requin was built at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, and launched on January 1, 1945. It was commissioned on April 28, 1945, under the command of Commander Slade D. Cutter, a highly decorated submarine officer. The Requin carried a heavier armament than usual for a fleet submarine, including two 24-tube rocket launchers and an extra 5-inch deck gun.
Requin blev tildelt Stillehavsflåden og ankom til Pearl Harbor i juli 1945, men så ikke nogen kamphandling før slutningen af Anden Verdenskrig. Efter krigen blev Requin overført til Atlanterhavsflåden og gennemgik flere konverteringer og modifikationer. Det fungerede som et sonar skoleskib, en radar picket ubåd, en hjælpeforskning ubåd og en eksperimentel ubåd. Requin deltog i forskellige øvelser og operationer, herunder NATO-manøvrer, træning i antiubådskrigsførelse, Project Nobska og Project Sea Scan. Requin blev taget ud af drift den 2. december 1968 og ramt af Naval Vessel Register den 20. december 1971. I 1990 blev det et museumsskib på Carnegie Science Center i Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, hvor det er åbent for offentligheden til ture og uddannelsesprogrammer.
