USS Barb (SSN-596) holds a distinguished place in American submarine history. The nuclear Barb carried one of the most distinguished names in submarine history. Her WWII predecessor (SS-220) earned the Medal of Honor for CDR Eugene Fluckey's legendary Pacific war patrols. The nuclear Barb served as a Permit-class attack submarine during the Cold War.
Our Barb gear is crafted for the submarine community — the sailors who qualified on her, the families who waited through months-long deployments, and anyone who understands what it means to serve beneath the surface.
