Description
US NAVY SS-490 USS VOLADOR PATCH - USS Volador (SS-490), 1948-1972 USS Volador, a 1570-ton Tench class submarine, was on the building ways at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, Kittery, Maine, when her construction was suspended in early 1946. Work resumed in mid-1947 to a revised design that turned her into a much improved "Guppy II" submarine, with streamlined hull and sail, more powerful electric propulsion system and a snorkel, thus greatly increasing her underwater performance. - FULLY EMBROIDERED MERROWED BORDER WITH CLOTH BACKING
