Slow reproduction and growth make tautog more vulnerable to overfishing. Some diurnal species, like the tautog "Tautoga onitis", become active day and night during migration. Tautog and summer flounder are also less numerous. On her return to Pearl Harbor "Tautog" picked up an Operational Reactor Safeguard Examination team. USS "Tautog" was removed from service in September 1959. It missed and alerted an escort which gave "Tautog" a severe depth charge attack. At some points the hydrographic equipment aboard "Tautog" registered zero distance between the submarines. "Tautog" operated in the Hawaiian area until mid-October. The "Tautog" sank the second most, with 26. They can be distinguished from the tautog by their pointed snouts. Unusual winds blowing from Maui caught the sail and "Tautog" drifted off course. "Tautog" also sank a schooner, a sailboat, and a motor sampan. The targets suddenly turned toward "Tautog" and were recognized as an antisubmarine warfare team. Escorts forced "Tautog" deep and depth charged her for seven hours without doing any damage. "Tautog" completed a Western Pacific deployment in November 1984 upon her return to Pearl Harbor.
