This sub has an interesting history.

 

"Bang received six battle stars for her World War II service. She is officially credited with sinking eight Japanese merchant ships totaling 20,177 tons."

 

She also survived a number of depth charge attacks.

Nice find! My great grandfather was on the Bang as a torpedoman’s mate on all 7 war patrols. I’ll have to make a detailed post on his service as well as the various artifacts of his that I’ve inherited. One of them is a photo album covering his entire service with some photos taken at sea. Fascinating stuff.
