dustin Posted May 2, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 2, 2017 I have this knife sheath and the previous owner scratched in his ship, USS ??????. For the life of me I cannot decipher what the ships name is. It appears the last four letters spells "HARD". I'm hoping some more knowledgeable people on US Navy vessels could ID this for me. I thought possibly a letter or two has worn off, I've looked very close even under infra-red and saw now signs of additional letters. Any Help appreciated!
