Hmm, I'll try to list US ships that's less popular, such as:

USS Marblehead (CL-12): Her famous achievement can be summarized as "Running a 14000 km marathon with a broken ankle"

Uss Franklin (CV-13): Might be the 2nd in "unsinkable" list below Laffey II, complete with her own Father O'Callahan fairy

USS Charles Ausburne (DD-570): Captained by the famous skipper Arleigh Burke himself and the leader of "Little Beaver".

USS England (DE-635): Famous for sinking several Japanese submarine already, when her division commander detected a submarine (Ro-105), she was told to 'sit in the corner and do nothing'. After numerous failed attempt, her division commander said "Oh, hell. Go ahead England." And she succeed...

And of course... The Silent Service...

Beside the infamous ships such as Sand Lance, Sealion II, Archerfish, Cavalla, Rasher, Dace, Darter, Tang, and of course Albacore and Harder; there's also

USS Sailfish (SS-192) and USS Sculpin (SS-191): Let's say the fate of these two ships was fascinatingly intertwined

USS Seadragon (SS-194): Where an emergency appendectomy was performed for the first time on a submarine... By a high-school dropout... With a lack of surgical equipment... And succeeded... Yeah, that happened...

Oh, and a Kriegsmarine/Soviet cruiser  Lützow/Petropavlovsk/Talinn: She took part in the defense (1941) and counter-attack of Lenignrad (1944) by the Soviets. I can sniff some drama from her history...
