The article states that "Shark was deactivated, in commission, on 16 October 1986." This date seems too early - as a U.S. Naval Academy midshipman, I did my youngster cruise in June 1987 on USS Shark, and I don't recall it being "deactivated" in any way at that point.

The dates given in the article agree with those listed here, which is one of the few comprehensive sites on the Web that doesn't just copy Wikipedia's data. If you have a source we can verify that gives different dates, we'd love to see it. (Your memory is a good starting point, but I know I sometimes forget which of my patrols in the early 1980s was which.) ➥the Epopt 06:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
