She was the leading ship of her class, serving 12 intense war patrols in the Pacific during World War II, earning a total of 11 battle stars during the war. When the attacks on Pearl Harbor occurred, the U.S.S Tambor was stationed for a peace time patrol of Wake Island, a short distance away from the attack. Throughout the war she was stationed primarily in and around Pearl Harbor and the surrounding islands for war time patrols. She played an important role in the Battle of Midway in June of 1942, as her presence triggered an emergency turn by a Japanese cruiser which caused the crash of two Japanese warships. She was credited with multiple enemy ship sinkings by the end of WW2. After her 12th war patrol she was retired from combat, docking at Pearl Harbor on November 30th, 1944, and was decommissioned on December 10th, 1945, at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in New Hampshire. In 1959 the Board of Inspection and Survey found her no longer fit for service, so the USS Tambor was scrapped on September 1st, 1959. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks for stopping by!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1939 U.S.S Tambor Launch Day Naval Cover - World War II Navy Cover - Walton Dewolfe Cachet - Christmas 1939 US Submarine Tambor Stamp Cover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treasure Hunter Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53462369960233,"sku":"PH-NC-1939-Tambor-LCH","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1540\/3049\/files\/IMG_8399.jpg?v=1788194452"},{"product_id":"1939-u-s-s-tambor-launch-day-naval-cover-world-war-ii-navy-cover-walton-dewolfe-cachet-christmas-1939-us-submarine-tambor-stamp-cover-copy","title":"1940 U.S.S Sailfish First Day in Commission Naval Cover - Raised Cachet by G.

Sc#BK113 (Scott Number BK113).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZIP Codes were first introduced by the United States Post Office Department (later USPS) on July 1st, 1963, as a response to the growing need for a nationwide system for organizing and delivering mail efficiently. The name \"ZIP\" was chosen not only to represent the acronym \"Zone Improvement Plan\", but also to suggest to Americans that their mail would travel faster if they addressed it using a ZIP code. Around the same time that the ZIP codes were introduced, the cartoon character \"Mr. Zip\" (informally \"Zippy\") was created by the US Post Office and became the face of their promotional campaign for the use of the ZIP code. He was based on a 1957 character created by Howard Wilcox for Chase Manhattan Bank's bank-by-mail campaign. The character design was then acquired by AT\u0026amp;T, who gave it to the US Post Office Department. Mr. Zip was used extensively on promotional items for the Post Office, with heads of the department seeking to make him as recognizable to the American public as the Department of Agricultures famous \"Smokey the Bear\". But, by the late 1970s Mr. Zip had been widely phased out of the departments advertising, his only remaining presence being on the blank portion of stamp sheets until the design was discontinued in 1986. The USPS still holds the rights to the character, who has mainly been used for commemorative items or children's education programs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks for stopping by!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1963 Mr. Zip Washington 5 Cent Stamp Booklet - Slogan 3 - Complete Booklet - 1963 Zip Code Introduction 20 Stamp Book - Sc#BK113\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treasure Hunter Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53476636688681,"sku":"PH-BK-1963-ZIP-Full","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1540\/3049\/files\/IMG_8810.jpg?v=1788360945"},{"product_id":"1990-dwight-d-eisenhower-commemorative-gold-foil-stamp-first-day-cover-presidential-fdc-1990-president-first-day-of-issue-stamp-cover-copy-1","title":"1973 Boston Tea Party Bicentennial Anniversary First Day Cover - Block of 4, Full Panorama -Rarer Teapot Cachet - 1973 Boston Tea Party FDC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the photographed 1973 Boston Tea Party 200th Anniversary First Day Cover.
