SS Argo was a Finnish Cargo ship that the Soviet submarine Shch-317 torpedoed on 16 June 1942 in the Gulf of Finland between Bogskär and Utö, Finland.^[1]

Argo was built at the Napier R. & Sons shipyard in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom in 1898. Where she was launched and completed that same year. The ship was 98.5 metres (323 ft 2 in) long, had a beam of 13.47 metres (44 ft 2 in) and had a depth of 6.22 metres (20 ft 5 in). She was assessed at 2,513 GRT and had 1 x 3 cyl. triple expansion engine driving a screw propeller. The ship could reach a maximum speed of 8.5 knots and could generate 832 n.h.p.^[2]

Argo was torpedoed and sunk by the Soviet submarine Shch-317 torpedoed on 16 June 1942 in the Gulf of Finland between Bogskär and Utö, Finland. The sinking claimed the lives of 9 of her crew and the 14 survivors were rescued by the Swedish merchant ship Ulla, who herself was nearly torpedoed by the same Soviet submarine.^[1]
