JerseyDevil117 Posted July 29, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2015 Not sure what it is, But it looks really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted July 29, 2015 Share #5 Posted July 29, 2015 This is going to be a difficult ID That being said, if it is USN, I'd say Submarine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomf4 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted July 29, 2015 I didn't really think that looked like a SUB, but I guess it kinda does. I looked and that funny looking Y is the symbol for YEN. So Japanese made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted July 29, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 29, 2015 No guns, no hull number, roundish bow, sub-like railings, no stack but rather a stylized conning/periscope arrangement an artistic submarine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomf4 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted July 29, 2015 Yes, the round nose had me wondering to. I see what your saying about the rest now. Must have been some top secret sub type that has been unseen til now!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLeo Posted July 29, 2015 Share #9 Posted July 29, 2015 It reminds me a bit of one of their squadrons patches.......early VA-92 Golden Dragons (now VFA-92) I can see the resemblance to some type sub as well, however. Could it be a crudely made carrier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted July 29, 2015 Share #10 Posted July 29, 2015 Could this be a generic sub patch? You go in, tell the tailor/seamstress what your sub number is, it's added to the patch, and voila! This has been done w/ various Army patches, especially armor triangle patches or in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted July 29, 2015 Share #11 Posted July 29, 2015 Super cool patch love how they just stamped the price on the back should be interesting to know what this turns out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBMflyer Posted July 29, 2015 Share #12 Posted July 29, 2015 I wonder if this is a Golden Dragon patch for crossing the International Date Line, maybe to be worn on a tour jacket or flight jacket. Just a WAG, great patch, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomf4 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share #13 Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks for all the input fellows, it's hard to say what the deal is with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted July 31, 2015 Share #14 Posted July 31, 2015 I was also think a sub patch. I tried USS Sea Dragon. But the first (SS-194) was de-commissioned in 1945 and the other (SSN-584) was a NUC.And that is not a nuclear sub. So I would guess a generic patch for a WESTPAC cruise.

vintageproductions Posted July 31, 2015 Share #15 Posted July 31, 2015 I think it is just a generic patch. The dragon is a very typical design you see from the late 50's to early Vietnam that Japanese tailor shops used on tour / cruise jackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
