Mitch Posted October 13, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 13, 2014 Hi Bearmon, I don't think you will regret getting into collecting Silent Service patches. I love the looks of these type of patches and you have posted some nice ones. Another good thing about collecting these is that I don't !!!

Salvage Sailor Posted October 26, 2014 Share #9 Posted October 26, 2014 We have some other Regulus photos and patches on the forum, but I didn't see anything for the USS BARBERO (SSG-317) Along with the USS TUNNY (SSG-282) these WWII vets were the first USN nuclear deterrent submarines, paving the way for the Polaris boats and future Boomers. She also held the distinction of being the only 'Missile Mail' submarine, sending letters via a Regulus missile to NAVSTA Mayport, Florida. Nice original cut edge Japanese patch, measuring 6" x 6" and probably made by Ace Novelty. Unlike her sister Regulus submarines which were converted to APSS/LPSS service during Vietnam, BARBERO was struck and sunk in Hawaii in 1964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted December 11, 2014 Share #18 Posted December 11, 2014 ...and if you are not familiar with the USS CHOPPER (SS-342) it's worth looking up. She tore herself apart in an uncontrolled vertical plunge and wild broaching that all but destroyed her and placed her out of commission.
