Wartime History
USS Rasher which went on to rank second among US sub's for total tonnage sunk during WWII. Across the top of this photo is written: sank eighteen ship's tonnage 99,901 3 naval ships The 1 in the total tonnage leads me to think there was a very close third. You can also see the snow in the picture

This sub was in the local news just last week. Parts of, or the whole conning tower is on it's way back to Manitwoc for display at the museum. They didn't say where from. There was also a book written about this sub.
