Description: Beautiful Silver USS Cobia SS-245 Submarine / Submariner Pin. The Cobia is moored along the Manitowoc River, adjacent to the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, is the World War II fleet submarine USS Cobia (SS-245). Cobia has local and national significance as an icon of Wisconsin's shipbuilding heritage. Cobia is a GATO-class fleet submarine similar to the twenty-eight subs built in Manitowoc during World War II. Even though it is the same class of submarine built by Manitowoc shipbuilders, Cobia was a product of the Electric Boat Company of Groton, Connecticut. USS Cobia (SS 245) was launched on November 28, 1943. In June 1944, she began the first of six war patrols in which she sank thirteen Japanese vessels for a total of 20,000 tons of enemy shipping. By July 1944, Cobia had established herself in the annals of World War II sub history by attacking an enemy convoy bound for Japanese-held Iwo Jima. Pin is approximately 1 1/4 of an inch long as you can see in the photo. Great tie tack or addition to your pin collection. Hard to find item, they make great Gifts for your favorite Navy Buff. Pins are stamped from metal then plated; I hope you will treasure these memories as jewelry to be worn, and not merely as trinkets to be discarded and forgotten.
