WWII Submarine Launch Tag for the USS Quillback SS-424

This is a World War II submarine launch tag for the USS Quillback SS-424, which was launched October 1, 1944 at Portsmouth (NH) Naval Shipyard. First meant to be named USS Trembler, she was given a less humiliating name and got one war patrol in before the end of the war. On that patrol she sunk a Japanese suicide craft and rescued a downed aviator from enemy waters.

Circa 1944.

About 1-3/4 in width by 1-5/8" in height.

Foiled card stock.

Silk string.

None.

This is from a large collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. LBHX

8 (Excellent-): This tag shows very minor wear, and the tag you receive will either be this one or one in very similar condition.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
