I don't normally collect Navy patches, so I wanted to confirm, does this one stand for "Construction Battalion"?

Yes It does, it is what,s know as a Distinguishing mark, worn on the left sleeve, in the middle of the sleeve, it was in White or Navy Blue, it was relpaced by the Seabees shoulder patch some time in 1944, but this little patch still could be seen being worn afterwards, I guess along with the shoulder patch, not sure on this final point though.
