    I like the pictures. I find the battle ribbon rack interesting. Did they have any documentation on the ribbons in the sub? The ribbons from top left to bottom right are: Combat Action Ribbon; Navy Presidential Unit Citation; Navy "E"; Naval Reserve Meritorious Service Medal;Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal; WWII Victory Medal; WWII Occupational Medal; National Defense Service Medal.

    I find it strange that the museum would display the Navy "E" ribbon, as that award was established after the SILVERSIDES was decommissioned.

      I didn't notice any documentation. I have a feeling some of it was dressed up for looks,, such as the E ribbon.

          This is an operational boat maintained by naval veterans, mostly from Vietnam era where the boat actually served. It’s an awesome destination for a weekend summer vacation.
