VA-75 patch minus the writing on the shorts. I think they were designated VA-7A & VA-74. A short lived patch.

Thanks Hink

 

No story on the tags just part of the VP21 set I purchased with other related items.Navy and Marine air related items dont surface here a lot.

 

There are some pretty nice patches in this topic all great examples

Really nice patches. Here is a VA-12 Flying Ubangis Kiss of Death patch.

 

I think this one is from the 1970s. Always liked this Squadron's patch.

WW2 USN VF-21 Freelancers

early patch as the cat is facing to the left.

 

This patch could actually be VF-81, the Cat may go to the left on the VF-81 patch were the VF-21 goes to the right?

Anti-Submarine Squadron VS-931 Korean War 1951 - 1953

post-2322-0-76623900-1490578356.jpg

Operated off of the escort carriers USS SICILY (CVE-118) and USS BADOENG STRAIT(CVE-116)

 

VS-931 Antisubmarine Squadron was activated at Willow Grove Naval Air Station in Pennsylvania on March 1, 1951 during the Korean War and was transferred to Los Alamitos Naval Air Station in California. The squadron was sent abroad on the USS Sicily and operated near Japan and Okinawa. Upon transferring to the USS Badoeng Strait, the Squadron went to Korea on two different occasions to protect the US Naval fleet from enemy submarines. There were several transfers back and forth between the two ships and in addition the squadron was stationed on land bases at Atsugi and Itami for brief periods. The squadron returned to the States aboard the USS Sicily. Upon returning to Los Alamitos the squadron's designation was changed from VS-931 to VS-20
