Revell 1/72 Platinum edition Gato class sub ( USS Cobia SS-245)

Looks like a triangle to represent the 2 luggers (sail boats) sunk.

I believe you’re right about that, I pulled that photo from the same site. But I still can’t figure out what’s going on with that shape. It looks like a triangle with a beak, if that makes sense. So far haven’t found a clear photo of this on any other boat.

This is the closest but not the same I have found.

The shape looks like an attempt at a more artistic pennant shape.

That makes sense. Something like this but without the hard grey outline:


If I go with those markings that’s exactly what I’ll do. Thanks.

So now I gotta ask, what’s with those “eclipsed” suns?

Damaged not sunk according to what I found. Also no set standard fleet wide.

Example
Japanese national flag - Merchant ships sunk
Rising sun flag (Japanese Naval ensign) - Number of military ships sunk
Partial flag Damaged ships
