Tonomachi Posted February 27, 2021 Share #103 Posted February 27, 2021 Picked this up recently which is about 11" X 14" and mounted on a paper backing due to a sticky adhesive on the back of the patch. I'm guessing it is a back patch with the adhesive used to keep the patch in place before sewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Hate Moths Posted April 11, 2021 Share #105 Posted April 11, 2021 Seabees US Naval Advisory Group Chinhae Korea The patch measures 4.5 wide and 6.5 height. It is on an N4 deck jacket. I do not know the time frame of it's use. The jacket belonged to Roy J. Sinnott, who was an Army veteran during WWII. He joined the Navy after his discharge, and had served for many years.

Salvage Sailor Posted April 11, 2021 Share #106 Posted April 11, 2021 Chinhae is a ROKN homeport and it was a regular stop for the Salvage forces from the 1950's through the 1980's primarily to train the ROKN and for Liberty. The USNAG had a small contingent there, mostly supply, logistics and Seabees. I've been there several times and it's a small place, two lane bowling alley, Duffy's Tavern & 'entertainment'. I'd say this patch and the USN deck jacket is circa mid-1960's to early 1970's (Vietnam era) Fleet Activities, Chinhae had its origin as a US Naval Advisory Group in 1946. The Command was subsequently established as a detachment of the Naval Component of the US Naval Advisory Group for the Republic of Korea. Upon reorganization in July 1969, the Command became the first Fleet Detachment, Naval Station, Joint US Military Advisory Group Korea (JUSMAG-K). In 1972, the Command was reorganized as the Chinhae Facility. US Naval Forces Korea and Fleet Detachment, Naval Section, JUSMAG-K broke out to become a tenant activity. The activity, renamed in 1972 as Field Logistics Center, Chinhae, was disestablished in 1988. The Chinhae Facility was reorganized as Commander, US Naval Forces, Korea Detachment, Chinhae in 1978. Reorganization in 1984 established Commander, Fleet Activities Chinhae with Commander, US Naval Forces, Detachment Chinhae as a tenant activity.

Salvage Sailor Posted July 1, 2021 Share #108 Posted July 1, 2021 On 3/9/2019 at 7:09 AM, hink441 said: Really nice 11" diameter Tractor King patch. Used but still in good shape. I believe this one is from the USS Enterprise CVN-65 westpac cruise. This is a pretty unique patch. The tractor King is a young Petty Officer (usually E-5) who is in charge of all the tow tractors on the flight deck. He wears a yellow jersey and blue float coat and blue helmet. Here is a picture of a group of four tractors on the flight deck. If you notice the "Tractor King" is the driver of the second tractor from the left. Ready to go during recovery of aircraft. Nice, Here's an older 8" TRACTOR KING patch from the 'Top Gun', USS RANGER (CVA-61) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other patches on the jacket have no ship names either, do you have any idea why some cruise patches would not have ship names? My guess is that they are souvenirs, even if authentic. Ken, Those are all authentic period cruise jacket patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
