ARTIFACT: This is a submarine launching ribbon for the lost boat USS Scorpion (SS-278), launched July 20, 1942 from Portsmouth (New Hampshire) Naval Shipyard. Courtesy of www.hazegray.org: On 3 January 1944, SCORPION departed Midway on her last war patrol, heading toward the East China and Yellow Seas. On the 5th, she attempted to rendezvous with sister ship HERRING (SS-233) to transfer an injured man. Heavy seas prevented the transfer, and SCORPION continued west. She was not heard from again. Assumed to be the victim of a Japanese mine, she was declared lost on 6 March 1944. SCORPION earned three battle stars for her World War II service.
