Salvage Sailor Posted April 28, 2017 Share #9 Posted April 28, 2017 Current SUBRON 3 patch, Submarine Squadron Three, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii How do you identify them when there is no wording on the patch? In general terms (there are always exceptions), if you see a pennant or number in BLUE or a Roman Numeral, it's a Submarine Squadron as shown in this example. If you see a pennant or number in RED, it's a Submarine Division as shown in the first post (Submarine Division 32). The first number is the Squadron (3) and the second number is the Division 3(2). i.e. SUBDIV 32 (voiced as 'three-two', the Second Division of SUBRON THREE) For Squadrons and Groups, (NOT Divisions) Odd numbers are Pacific Fleet units, Even numbers are Atlantic Fleet units.

Salvage Sailor Posted June 3, 2017 Share #20 Posted June 3, 2017 USS BUSHNELL (AS-15) Fulton class Submarine Tender to SUBRON 12, in service 1943 to 1970 "The Burning Bush" In 1965, she suffered a serious fire in some electrical generation equipment — and earned the nickname "the burning Bush". There was only one minor injury in that incident, and it didn't affect operations for long. She returned to Key West in 1967 to continue her service to the submarine fleet. In 1968, she celebrated her 25th year of service. She continued to supply services to SubRon 12 as well as support services to other ships in the Caribbean and Gulf Coast regions. She made regular visits to New Orleans, Mobile, Fort Lauderdale and Kingston, Jamaica. In 1969, Bushnell was the Navy response ship for Hurricane Camille. She and her crew rebuilt Pilottown, Louisiana, so that river traffic could again move on the Mississippi. Unfortunately, however, her nickname came to haunt her when in early 1970 a high pressure airline ruptured in the bilge, atomizing the oil and other liquids resulting in an explosion and fire that damaged the ship beyond repair. Her own crew did all of her own decommissioning work (not in a shipyard) in early 1970. She was replaced in Key West by her sister ship Howard W. Gilmore and sunk as a target.
