Zero
A variety of mascots served the United States with honour during the War.* I am particularly impressed by Salvo's service in the air and by the mascot submariners pictures aboard USS Thresher. The United States Coast Guard had many of note... though a more recent penguin stands out. Sinbad may have been most famous of all though he looks a bit like Triumph in this photo. The cutest WWII mascot hands down has to be Zero when he came aboard the USS Washington BB56 as a puppy.
*And much earlier, "Is there a cat in one of the Monitor’s cannon barrels?"
