Scope and Content

Reverse reads: "This sterling silver sponsors plate was affixed to the mast, at boat deck level, on or about the day the U.S.S. Bangust was launched in San Pedro, California. It remained there until being removed just before the ship went into reserve fleet status at Green Cove Springs, Florida in late 1946. The ship is long gone however this plate, now mounted on a teak plaque, will attend future reunions of the ship's crew."
