Original World War II U.S. Navy Gooneyville Beer Hall Pass associated with USS Steelhead (SS-280), a Gato-class submarine that served in the Pacific during WWII.
The pass is issued to Ferdinando Edward Mirabile and stamped valid through August 25, 1945.
The printed form bears the date August 15, 1945, the day Japan announced its acceptance of the Allied surrender terms.
This fascinating piece of WWII submarine memorabilia provides a glimpse into the recreational activities and daily life of American submariners near the end of the Pacific War.
The card includes a printed warning that misuse would result in disciplinary action.

This item came from my late father Steve Keyser’s private collection.
A distinctive original wartime collectible for historians and collectors of USS Steelhead, WWII submarines, and Pacific Fleet memorabilia.
