hink441 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share #101 Posted February 13, 2021 Love the “ Screwbirds” cruised with them during my time in the Navy. Here is an old one. VT-17 flew the Avenger in WW2. This patch design was in use between 1944-49. The squadron name was changed from VT-17 to VA-6B in early 1946. The patch design is painted carved wood.

67Rally Posted March 20 Share #108 Posted March 20 This is one of the most visually appealing plaques I have seen. I remember when our CPO mess started presenting these and I always wanted one purely due to their aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectsmedals Posted March 20 Share #110 Posted March 20 A couple of Coast Guard plaques. First is from the United States Coast Guard Cutter Chautauqua. I like this one because I grew up near Lake Chautauqua in Western New York. The second plaque is to LCDR Herbert J. Nuse, presented on his retirement after 30 years of service, from the Officers and Enlisted Personnel of the Coast Guard Training Center, Cape May New Jersey.

collectsmedals Posted March 20 Share #111 Posted March 20 This last set of plaques were presented at various times in his career to Captain Howard Crosby. The "enhanced" photograph is attached to the back of the Commander Antisubmarine Warfare Force Pacific Fleet plaque. Maybe a congratulatory memento of his first command?

Chautauqua was the only cutter in the 14th District that didn't go to Vietnam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
