BARB is unique for a number of reasons - the first use of rockets for shore bombardment by a submarine, the only landing of US Forces on the Japanese home Islands and subsequent destruction of a 16 car train using the ships scuttling charges. Certainly one of the most unique kills and worthy of top ten status.
