USS Paddle (SS-263)

USS Paddle (SS-263) 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. The USS Paddle collection is crafted for those who know the real weight of submarine service. Whether you served aboard her, knew someone who did, or simply respect the history, this gear carries the heritage of the American submarine force.
