Description
USS Tang (SS-306) was a Balao-class submarine of World War II, the first ship of the United States Navy to bear the name Tang. She was built and launched in 1943, serving until being sunk by her own torpedo off China in the Taiwan Strait on 24 October 1944.
In her short career in the Pacific War, Tang sank 33 ships totalling 116,454 tons. Commander Richard O’Kane received the Medal of Honor for her last two engagements (23 and 24 October 1944).
Tang was sunk during the last engagement by a circular run of her final torpedo, going down in 180 ft (55 m) of water.[11] 78 men were lost, and the nine survivors were picked up by a Japanese frigate and taken prisoner of war. This was the only time that a Momsen lung was used to escape a sunken submarine.

Staff Sergeant dynamically1138 –
Awesome set with excellent details. My favorite detail is the 4 diesel engines and twin screws. My only gripe is that the colors used in the instructions are difficult to differentiate, black and dark Grey do not differ enough. A couple of mix-ups required partial disassembly to correct. Please address this in future releases somehow! Excellent scale representation of USS Tang!
