USS Pargo (SS-264)

Built to the Gato-class standard, USS Pargo (SS-264) was one of the workhorses of the Pacific submarine war. The Gato design combined range, reliability, and firepower in a hull that could operate thousands of miles from base, striking at Japan's merchant fleet and naval forces across the breadth of the ocean. Every item in our USS Pargo collection represents a connection to the submarine force and the crews who made these boats legendary. Designed by veterans for veterans, family members, and historians who refuse to let these stories fade.
