Siamundo Posted June 18, 2017 Share #27 Posted June 18, 2017 Not sure if these would be Navy specific, but Vietnam vintage Japanese made so very possibly could have been picked up by a sailor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted June 18, 2017 Share #28 Posted June 18, 2017 I saw another version of the patch a couple of years ago with USS O'Brien, (DD-725), across the top and the bottom tab said Gunnery so maybe this is a department patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted June 23, 2018 Share #41 Posted June 23, 2018 USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CVN-72) Nimitz class nuclear supercarrier commissioned in 1989 2002 Extended to 2003 Iraqi Freedom "Get Over It" Cruise Abraham Lincoln was in port on 11 September 2001. It was put to sea on 20 July 2002 to support Operation Enduring Freedom. It took up station once more in support of Operation Southern Watch before taking a port visit to Perth, Western Australia. It was during this time that Abraham Lincoln was ordered to the Persian Gulf to take part in Operation Iraqi Freedom. This forced the Navy to extend Abraham Lincoln's stay from 20 January 2003 to 6 May 2003. The news of this extension was delivered to the ship's crew on New Year's morning by the then Battlegroup Commander, RADM Kelly, with the phrase, "We don't need to be home holding our loved ones, we need to be here holding the line. Get over it!" The term "Get over it" became the running joke aboard ship, which eventually led to a deployment patch made aboard that read "Westpac 2003 CVN-72 CVW-14 GET OVER IT" with an image intended to depict an admiral kicking a sailor in the groin.

Salvage Sailor Posted August 18, 2018 Share #43 Posted August 18, 2018 As my old Chiefs would say, "A Bitching Sailor is a Happy Sailor" USS CONSTELLATION (CV-64) WESTPAC 2001 - 30 April to 04 August 115, degrees in The Sandbox, Persian Gulf cruise just before 911 with 4 Liberty Calls at Jebel Ali, UAE, a dry country..... Constellation's 20th deployment began on 16 March 2001. She entered the Persian Gulf on 30 April and immediately commenced operations in support of OSW. On 13 May, Captain John W. Miller assumed command as Connie's 30th skipper, and her last. She ceased OSW operations on 4 August, having conducted multiple air strikes in response to Iraqi violations of the no-fly zone. Connie departed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on 9 September with dependents on board for the traditional Tiger Cruise on the final leg to San Diego. On 11 September Constellation was nearly halfway between Pearl Harbor and San Diego when word was received of the terrorist attacks on New York and the Pentagon. Despite discussions about turning the battle group around, the carrier was allowed to complete her regularly scheduled deployment. Connie arrived in San Diego on Friday 14 September and celebrated her 40th birthday the next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
