Happy birthday, U.S.S Cobia.

The Cobia has had a distinguished history.

Quote: In June 1944, it began the first of six war patrols in which she sank thirteen Japanese vessels. By July 1944, Cobia had established itself in the annals of World War II sub history by attacking an enemy convoy bound for Japanese-held Iwo Jima. Cobia sank two vessels, including a troop transport carrying a Japanese tank battalion of twenty-eight tanks. U.S. Marines considered this sinking critical to their success in capturing Iwo six months later.

The Cobia is another distinguished veteran of WW2.

May Cobia continue to live a long life as well as all who served on her. May God continue to bless them.
