USS Punishment

The USS Punishment was a United States river monitor that was in service during the Great War. It patroled the rivers that marked the border between the U.S. from 1915 to 1916. In 1916, it weighed anchor in the Cumberland River, near Clarksville, Tennessee for R&R. Among those who went ashore were George Enos, Stanley, Albert, and Grover. Shortly after, a Confederate shell attack destroyed the Punishment, sinking it and its crew.
