USS Sabalo (SS-302), a Balao-class submarine, was the first submarine and second ship of the United States Navy to be named sabalo, another name for the Atlantic tarpon, a large, silvery game fish of the herring group, found in the warmer parts of the Western Atlantic.

From 18 February to 28 September 1952, she underwent conversion to a Fleet Snorkel type at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.

This was a less-extensive alteration than the GUPPY conversion received by many World War IIera fleet submarines during the same general period.

Following this conversion, Sabalo alternated local operations with simulated war patrols while deployed to the western Pacific.

Struck from the Navy Register onn the day she was decommissioned, she was sunk as a target in SubSinkEx Project "Thurber" off San Diego on 21 February 1973.
