miner-al Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted July 9, 2011 Thank you for your interest! The tabs that I collect date between 1957 and 1975. In 1975 the Navy changed the uniform of enlisted personnel, E-6 and below. In 1985, the Navy reconsidered the unpopular move, and reverted back to the traditional uniforms and brought back ship tabs and UIMs. The tabs after 1985 are noticeably different that the earlier ones. Later tabs are all a standard width of about 5 inches, and the background is nearly black. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Many thanks for your reply. I have most of the OHP class UIMs but still need 9 to complete. I hope to get them all at some stage. The most noticeable one missing is the Perry.
