USS Pickerel (SS-177)

The story of USS Pickerel (SS-177) is written in silence. A P-class (Shark/Perch/Porpoise) submarine deployed to the North Pacific, she was lost with her crew during World War II. Lost around April 3, 1943, likely depth charged off northern Honshu. All 74 crew perished. Our Pickerel gear honors a boat and crew who paid the highest price.
