by far one of the coolest Christmas gifts I have ever received this is the mission flag from the submarine

USS Pickerel (SS-177) you can even still smell the diesel fuel here's the wikepida page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Pickerel_(SS-177) I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what the symbols mean - thanks chris

The Rising Sun flag = military Japanese vessel

Regular Japanese flag = commercial/non-military vessel

The stripes is the Navy PUC

 

So two Military vessels sunk and 24 commercial/non-military ships sunk.

 

Very neat! One awesome piece of history.
