Editing USS Cyclops (section)

==USS ''Cyclops'' in fiction==
{{unreferenced section|date=January 2024}}
In 1986, [[Clive Cussler]]'s [[Dirk Pitt]] novel ''[[Cyclops (novel)|Cyclops]]'' depicts Pitt finding the wreck of the USS ''Cyclops''.

In the ''[[Quantum Leap (1989 TV series)|Quantum Leap]]'' episode "Ghost Ship" a former [[WW2]] pilot tells Sam Beckett he was picked up by USS ''Cyclops'' when his squadron crashed during a storm in the Bermuda Triangle before itself was sunk with him as the only survivor; Al reveals the ship was from the First World War.

The ship is referenced in the 2019 horror-adventure game ''[[The Sinking City]]''. Charles Winfield Reed, the game's protagonist, served on the USS ''Cyclops'' as a sailor and diver before her mysterious sinking, of which he is the sole survivor. Its loss at sea is hinted to have been caused by the otherworldly events which cause Charles to see visions. The ship's sinking and Reed's subsequent experiences prior to the game's beginning also closely mirror that of the unnamed protagonist of the [[H. P. Lovecraft]] short story "[[Dagon (short story)|Dagon]]."

The USS ''Cyclops'' is encountered in the first episode of the 2005 television miniseries, ''[[The Triangle (miniseries)|The Triangle]]''. In the story, a team of four experts is assembled by a shipping magnate to investigate the mysterious disappearance of some of his vessels. The team discovers the sunken wreck of the ''Cyclops'' whilst conducting research in the Bermuda Triangle aboard a submarine.

A ship implied to be the USS ''Cyclops'' also appeared in the 2006 animated movie ''[[Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!]]'' It was shown in a scene where the main protagonists are about to enter the heart of the Bermuda Triangle, so the movie seems to suggest that the disappearance of the ship is linked to the mystical, supernatural powers and the legends of the Bermuda Triangle. As it passes by the ship carrying the protagonists, it is confirmed by [[Velma Dinkley|Velma]] to be the ''Cyclops''.
