ARTIFACT: This is a US Submarine Unicorn SS436 Keel Laid, Electric Boat Co. Postal Cover. Courtesy of www.hazegray.org: The contract for the construction of Unicorn (SS-436)-a Tench-class submarine laid down on 25 April 1945, at Groton, Conn., by the Electric Boat Co.-was terminated on 7 January 1946. However it was reinstated on 26 February 1946 for " completion of specific items." The submarine was launched on 1 August 1946; sponsored by Mrs. William A. Rowan, and accepted by the Navy on 3 September. Towed to the Portsmouth (N.H.)

She remained out of commission, in reserve, until 29 July 1958, when her name was struck from the Navy list.
