Description: USS Darter SS-227 memorial lost submarine first day cover honoring this 311' Gato Class diesel sub that was commissioned 7 Sept 1943 at Groton, CT. This submarine cover was pictorially postmarked from Washington, DC dated July 1, 2021. Blue photo of actual sub on printed cachet #2732 by Alvin Eckert USCS #9964. See her web pages for the details of her design, construction and service record. The proud vessel ran aground in the Philippines in the aftermath of a large battle. She was destroyed to prevent salvage by the enemy. All of the 60 crewmen survived, but the proud vessel is on Eternal Patrol, and is a fine example of the contribution of the men of the Greatest Generation. Cover prepared on a 55 cent flag stamp and a 3 cent USN stamp from 1946. Seller has other submarine covers. Check out my other items!
