Editing Balao-class submarine (section)

===Foreign service===

The large numbers of relatively modern, but surplus U.S. fleet submarines proved to be popular in sales, loans, or leases to allied foreign navies. 46 ''Balao''-class submarines were transferred to foreign navies, some shortly after World War II, others after serving nearly 30 years in the US Navy. These included 17 to Turkey, 2 to Greece, 3 to Italy, 2 to the Netherlands, 5 to Spain, 2 to Venezuela, 4 to Argentina, 5 to Brazil, 2 to Chile, 2 to Peru, 1 to Canada and 1 to Taiwan.<ref name="Friedman since 1945, pp. 228-231"/> One of the Venezuelan boats, ''ARV Carite'' (S-11) formerly [[USS Tilefish (SS-307)|USS ''Tilefish'']] (SS-307), featured in the 1971 film ''[[Murphy's War]]'' with some cosmetic modification.
