The USS Barb (SS-220) was a Gato-class submarine of the United States Navy, commissioned during World War II. Commissioned on July 1942, she was one of the most decorated American submarines of World War II, known for its daring exploits, innovative tactics, and record-breaking success.
War Patrols: The Barb completed 12 patrols and was credited with sinking 17 enemy ships, including a Japanese aircraft carrier destroyers, freighters, and tankers. Destroyed over 96,000 tons of enemy shipping—making it one of the most successful U.S. submarines in terms of tonnage sunk
Rocket Attacks - The Barb became the first U.S. submarine to launch rocket attacks against Japanese shore targets, using custom-installed rocket launchers. This innovation broadened the offensive capabilities of U.S. submarines
Sabotage Mission – The Only Ground Combat on Japanese Home Soil On its 12th war patrol in 1945, a landing party from the Barb carried out a raid on the Japanese home island of Karafuto (now Sakhalin, Russia). Eight crew members went ashore and destroyed a Japanese train by planting explosives under the tracks. This was the only U.S. ground operation on mainland Japan during WWII.
