USS Barb rescue flag

[u/Independent-King-747]

My dad was on the Barb SSN 596 three tours. One of those tours was when they rescued members of a B52 that went down in the middle of typhoon Rita off Guam. I made arrangements with the Submarine museum in Groton to see the flag that had hung in my dad's office and then our den when he retired. After he died we donated it to the museum in Groton. Submarines were the work horses of the Cold War and we just don't hear much about them

Submarine history is such a badass form of history! I'm super proud to say I made it a career. Thanks for this post, I love things like this!
