USS TANG SS-306 History:
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. 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.

Pre-ordered last month and finally got a chance to build her today. A great addition to the collection. Although it would have been nice if the set came with the string masts like the U-48 and ORP Orzel sets. But, it’s still a great set nonetheless!

A great looking model for a submarine! The actual model looks better than the box photo shows. Another enjoyable build, much more complex than the U47 set. Warbricks has definitely become one of my favorite places to shop for Cobi sets.

I really enjoyed the build plus the send time by warbricks.com was incredibly fast. Will definitely buy more from here in the future.
