USS Pampanito (SS-383/AGSS-383), Balao-klassi allveelaev, oli Ameerika Ühendriikide mereväe laev, kolmas pompano kala järgi. Aastatel 1944–1945 läbis ta kuus sõjapatrulli ja teenis aastatel 1960–1971 mereväe reservi õppelaevana. Nüüd on ta riiklik ajalooline maamärk, mida hoitakse mälestusmärgi ja muuseumilaevana San Francisco Maritime National Park Associationis, mis asub Fisherman's Wharfis.

General Characteristics and Role
The USS Pampanito (SS-383) is a Balao-class fleet submarine of the United States Navy, built during World War II. The Balao class was an improved version of the preceding Gato class, featuring a slightly stronger, deeper-diving hull using high-tensile steel. These submarines were the backbone of the U.S. submarine fleet during the Pacific War and were crucial in the campaign against Japanese shipping, which severely crippled Japan’s ability to wage war. Pampanito completed six highly successful war patrols, sinking numerous enemy ships and rescuing Allied prisoners of war. Today, she is preserved as a museum ship in San Francisco.
