Military Sealift Command USNS MSC MSTS

Recommended Posts

There are some of these type patches in different topics throughout the USN patch pages so I thought I would start a specific topic just for them. I also though I would post the EX-USN ships patches I had of the same named ships.

Please enjoy.

First up the Military Sealift Command patch itself one Japanese made and one US made
