Bearmon Posted January 27, 2014 Author #13 Posted January 27, 2014 Vietnam Era and manufacture NAVCAT Naval Construction Action Team. From WIKI CBMU-302 During the battalion's time in Vietnam, it became the first Seabee battalion to operate in the three lower divisions of the Republic of Vietnam (Corps Tactical Zones II, III, IV); became the largest Seabee battalion since WWII; as of Oct 1970, the only Seabee battalion to operate in all four Corps Tactical Zones at the same time; the only Navy Construction Battalion to wear an authorized shoulder patch (Naval Construction Action Team [NAVCAT] patch); the longest serving Seabee battalion in Vietnam (over 4.5 years). In April 1971, the battalion's headquarters relocated from Cam Ranh Bay to the large Army base at Bien Hoa.
irish Posted January 28, 2014 #14 Posted January 28, 2014 More nice patches Bearmon. I hope these fit with the theme. Liberty cuffs and a printed on silk insignia from the Korean Era, Construction Bn Mobil Unit 101 - Fleet Marine Air Wing? Correct me if that is not right. [/url]">http:// [/url]">http://
Bearmon Posted January 28, 2014 Author #15 Posted January 28, 2014 Very nice Irish, those liberty cuffs are great! Very nice addition.

Mitch Posted January 30, 2014 #18 Posted January 30, 2014 Hi Guys , Nice patches posted so far. I will add a few. Regards,Mitch
Mitch Posted January 30, 2014 #21 Posted January 30, 2014 Last one is a nice neat Japanese made patch. Thanks, Mitch
Bearmon Posted January 30, 2014 Author #22 Posted January 30, 2014 Nice additions Mitch, I have always wondered what the Seaborne patch was, it has many different ID's Mostly I see it as 1st Trans Helicopter for the US Army
BROBS Posted January 30, 2014 #23 Posted January 30, 2014 neat thread. I have a black pocket patch (PX) on the way.. will post pics when it arrives. also have a german Seabee SSI.. will try to get a pic as well. thanks for posting.. would love to see more WW2 stuff. -Brian
Mitch Posted February 2, 2014 #24 Posted February 2, 2014 Here is a mate to Bermons other Navcat patch except this is a Japanese made version for NAVCAT 9 . As far as the Seaborne patch, there is alot of referance to the 1st TC Bn. which was an Army Helicopter maintenance unit stationed on the USNS Corpus Christi Bay during the Vietnam war. I don't think the Seabees Seaborne patch is related that unit at all. Brian, Lets see some of your patches. Regards, Mitch
Patchcollector Posted February 2, 2014 #25 Posted February 2, 2014 Neat stuff guys.I love the Seabee stuff.
