Bearmon posted these pages ago but as he said, "the scans don't do them justice", so here's another view

A nice clean USS Watts patch still on the GEMSCO card..

attachicon.gifuss Watts DD567 001 (2).jpg

 

Really nice Bearmon,

 

That's also a DESRON patch, WATTS was the flagship of Reserve Destroyer Squadron 27 (ResDesRon 27), established on January 13, 1958 which dates this one in the late 1950's
