Nice patches.I really like the PIRAZ one.

[irish]

I will drop in a few from the Viet era. These are Navy EC121 related. This plane type would be similar to the one shot down by the North Koreans in April of 1969. They flew Aerial Recon and signal detection and jamming. I am sure some other member may be able to tell us more. The Golden Screw patch is somewhat of an unknown as far as meaning and or purpose.

More. Just noticed they spelled Saigon incorrectly

Very cool! My sister is a CTICS, brother-in-law is CRTCM, son former CTMSN and nephew is CTN3. They have been stationed at several of the locations o these patches.

[Bearmon]

Nice additions Irish, thanks for adding...

 

Sigs.... That is just too many CT's in one family, The SBI interviews must have been a hoot.

[firefighter]

Irish nice Japanese made patches.The golden screw one just looks to be a play on words.I would guess the 'S' added to CREW is for Saigon?

[irish]

Thanks fellas, I have others that I had posted over the last few years. Will repost these also now that a specific thread has been created for them

[irish]

One of my favorites. What is "Chicken Pluckers" in reference to?

 

[Bearmon]

I posted the Pic and a question on a CT Facebook page hopefully someone there knows!

[Bearmon]

The first comment was about the Rating being a feather and a lightening bolt and how kind it was that the patch said pluckers instead of starting the word with an "F"

. Yeah, and to think I harassed the CT det guys when we carried them. They would set up shop on my bridge since they could put their antennas up there and run cable every where. Always had to have "The Talk" and make sure they knew it was MY bridge and my guys would come and go as they pleased. The DET were guests in my spaces and would act accordingly. Never really had an issue with them and usually they just became like any other crew doing their job, sharing space.

USS FOX "Outboard" which was a CT system, notice the Quill and Lightening bolt in the upper right corner..

 

[Salvage Sailor]

Very nice swabbie, says the OS to the EW.

 

For those who are not navy savvy, the OUTBOARD system is for intelligence and data processing aboard ship by the details when deployed.

 

 

I've got a big pile of test/ew/range/tech patches. Perhaps another patch specific topic?

[Bearmon]

And believe it or not I have no EW patches!!!! go figure!

[irish]

One more from the Big E. The GOT, Gulf of Tonkin 1972-73.

 

[irish]

One from the USS Independence

[Mitch]

Great patches posted here guys. There are so many navy related patches that I'm glad that there are threads now to group them. Since I really only collect Vietnam era items the ones i'm post are from that era.  They will be related to US Navy Security and Comm. in Vietnam.
