USS Lancetfish (SS-296)

Every submarine that leaves port accepts the possibility of not returning. For USS Lancetfish (SS-296), a Balao-class boat operating in the Never deployed, that possibility became reality. Sank at the Boston Navy Yard on March 15, 1945 due to flooding during fitting out. Never commissioned. Raised but determined not worth repairing and scrapped. This collection carries the name of USS Lancetfish forward. Her crew made the ultimate sacrifice, and every piece of merchandise here is designed to keep that memory alive for submarine veterans, families, and historians.
