chrishoon Posted December 26, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2013 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 there is a white 2 underneath there is a white 24 underneath and a red torpedo on the Japanese flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdWarRules Posted December 26, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 26, 2013 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. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
