ARTIFACT: This is a launch ribbon for the lost boat USS Scamp SS-277, which was launched July 20, 1942 from Portsmouth (NH) Naval Ship Yard. Courtesy of www.hazegray.org: On 14 November, Scamp was ordered to take up the life guard station off Tokyo Bay in support of B-29 bomber strikes, but failed to acknowledge the message. Scamp was never heard from again. From records available after the war, it appears that Scamp was sighted by Japanese planes and reported depth charged by a coast defense vessel to the south of Tokyo Bay on 11 November 1944. Scamp was struck from the Navy list on 28 April 1945. Scamp (SS-277) earned seven battle stars for World War II service.
