In Honor of the USS Barb (SS-220) Barb Base, Southwest Florida, USA |
|
![]() USS Barb’s final battle
flag at the end of World War II presents a symbolic record of the boat’s
many wartime accomplishments and significant awards won by its crew. Most unusual is the
representation of a train at the middle bottom, which commemorates the
occasion when a landing party from Barb went ashore to destroy a 16-car
train. This was the sole landing by U.S. military forces on Japanese
homeland during the World War II hostilities. |
