Two submarines of the United States Navy have been named USS Trepang, for the trepang, a marine animal having a long, tough, muscular body, sometimes called a sea slug or a sea cucumber, found in the coral reefs of the East Indies.

  • USS Trepang (SS-412), a Balao-class submarine, served during World War II.
  • USS Trepang (SSN-674), a Sturgeon-class submarine, served during the Cold War.
