USS Unicorn (SS-429), a Balao-class submarine, was the first submarine of the United States Navy to be given that name for the narwhal, an Arctic marine cetacean with a single tusk suggesting the horn of a unicorn. The contract for her construction was authorized on 9 July 1942, and her keel was scheduled to be laid down by the Cramp Shipbuilding Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but she was cancelled on 29 July 1944.
