My mother recently found a patch of my father's in his Navy things. I tried Googling it and only came up with one on E-bay that did not give specifics. My father was a Vietnam vet who served on the USS Boston aboard a missile cruiser. I was hoping to find someone who knows more about this patch. Unfortunately we never came across it when he was living to be able to ask him ...I've attached a photo of it

It's a generic novelty type patch for Navy guys who served in or off the coast of Vietnam

Generally, there was only 1 Gunners Mate per turret these guns required all hands. I served an a single mount as an SM3. But, yes, generic , cranked out in various countries, worn on work jackets. Great patches.
