Salvage Sailor Posted December 22, 2013 Share #3 Posted December 22, 2013 My 3rd ship USS LUCE (DDG-38) and also her original patches as (DLG-7) USS LUCE (DLG-7) .....and her first emblem (can't find the patch just now, but here's the plaque) She originally had a Poseidon emblem but it was changed to reflect her new coat of arms and motto, "Pride, Power, Knowledge" in reference to Admiral Stephen B. Luce, founder of the Naval War College and the Naval Institute Press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigsaye Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted December 27, 2013 This is a USS Farragut "Plate". It is 2 inches, stamped brass and painted. It was at one time attached with glue to a plaque of some sort. I did not have the plaque, just this plate, so have no idea where it orriginally came from except the Farragut.

Salvage Sailor Posted January 27, 2017 Share #16 Posted January 27, 2017 The first DDG test bed USS GYATT (DDG-1), ex-Gearing class DD-712. She was converted to DDG-712 in 1956 and then became DDG-1 in 1957 This designation (and the patch) was short lived as she was converted back to conventional DD-712 in 1962 and decommissioned in 1969 In the photo you can see her missile battery mounted on her fantail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted March 30, 2017 Share #24 Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks Serge, Charles F. Adams class USS BERKELEY (DDG-15) In service 1962 to 1991 Large Westpac jacket patch and ships patches from their 1981 deployment. Much better than their 79/80 Iranian Crisis neverport deployment Underway on 27 February 1981, Berkeley sailed to Pearl Harbor and then on to Guam, mooring there on 21 March. While en route to Subic Bay in early April, she conducted both antisubmarine and antiair warfare exercises, an underway routine that became the pattern for this deployment. The warship then joined other 7th Fleet units for a port visit to Pattaya Beach, Thailand, before participating in Exercise "Sea-Siam 81-2." Berkeley joined Royal Thai Navy warships in a variety of maneuvers, including tactical communications, formation keeping, and antisubmarine warfare. The guided missile destroyer then moved back to Subic Bay, after diverting for stops at Sattahip, Thailand, and Hong Kong, where she joined the Kitty Hawk battle group. Departing on 13 May, the group sailed into the Indian Ocean for six weeks of antiair and surface warfare exercises before putting into Geraldton, Australia, for a week-long port visit in mid-July. Berkeley returned to Subic Bay on 4 August for three weeks of maintenance before steaming for home on 1 September arriving in San Diego on 21 September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
