Hi,

 

I just picked this patch up today at a Dallas-Fort Worth area antique store. Can anyone tell me more about this patch please? What does the "Second Division" mean? It looks Asian made?

 

Thanks in advance!

2nd division was one of the Deck divisions, which also came with responsibility for manning one of the guns, usually as an ammo handler, not sure which gun the 2nd division was responsible for on the Jersey.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

 

One last question - so this patch isn't really official? It would have been used on an unofficial "cruise jacket" maybe?

Awesome path. The NJ was taken out of moth ball and only did one WESTPAC/Vietnam cruise, too costly.It was then put back in moth balls.I have her cruise book from Vietnam.

she was brought back in the 80s too. she changed the elevation of a mountain in Lebanon by 6 feet or so.

She's the only battleship that fought in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam.
