I have a copy of the famous "Clean Sweep" photo with the broomstick of WAHOO returning to base displaying kill flags indicating two Warships and six Maru's sunk on that patrol. 2nd title; "SHOOT THE SUN ZA B*TCHES".
Roger Paine (was XO) is conning her into port if that helps narrow the time frame down. All dark paint scheme, and the tower has been cut down so I'm pretty confident it was later in the War. Anyway, there is no headdress displayed on her tower if you want to be historically accurate. Happy Hunting!

Here is a snapshot of what was available at one time: Quote:
I have a collection of some of the skins if they aren't here at Subsim. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...p?do=cat&id=76 The Narwhal skin was made for Ducimus' Trigger Maru Narwhal. Happy Hunting!

Well, if we can find the one for this thread, it's
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...674#post472674 "iblitz", but the one that cdrsubron7 and I linked to is "FooBor"... That post link there is to post #1 here, and has the picture that iblitz used...    OK, found it! http://warfish.com/scrap5.html  it's a "Battle Flag", hanging off the boat, along the conning tower, the colorful one is correct. I ~knew~ I'd seen it around... that is one good site, btw. rest in peace Wahoo!

Typically some of the crew would sew these impressive battle flags that displayed the mascot, kill flags, aviators rescued, recons, awards, etc.
They were not displayed while on patrol but were made and added to by the crew on the long trip home to display the boat's accomplishments as they returned to base. Often the crew would pose for photographs with their flag. It says Morton himself designed and made the Indian head. Nice site. Last edited by aanker; 12-15-17 at 08:40 PM. |

That it is. I have never seen it before. From what I can tell from that site, that patrol was the only one they used that particular battle flag, and only coming into San Fran, I guess - but there's a lot to read over there...

I've known Admiral Roger Paine's son since the 60's. He's about ten years older than I am and grew up with all these famous submariners and memorabilia in the house but didn't seem interested in much of it,
LT Paine missed the last patrol because of appendicitis... lucky, lucky. |

I just read that story! The navy had fumigated the boat just prior to leaving for patrol, and he and another fellow apparently got too close to the application, or ingested the poison. Both of their apendixes were removed for 'just-in-case', so they both missed that fateful cruise...
