USS Gunnel (SS-253)

USS Gunnel (SS-253) served as part of the Gato-class fleet, a submarine design that gave the United States the reach and combat capability to project power across the Pacific. Every Gato-class boat shared the same basic characteristics: roughly 312 feet of hull, ten torpedo tubes, and a crew willing to spend weeks submerged in waters controlled by the enemy. For the crew who served aboard USS Gunnel and the families who kept the home fires burning, this collection is built with respect and accuracy. Our submarine merchandise connects past and present through gear that carries real meaning.
