Apologies if this is posted to the wrong thread.

This Japanese made jacket patch was for the Fuji Fins, a U.S. military personnel skin diving club at Atsugi. They are mentioned in 1962 Stars & Stripes article as having assisted in training Japanese policemen in skin diving rescue and recovery.

Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Oahu, Hawaii - It was the only USN SAR base for well over a thousand miles.

 

Closed in the BRAC of 1999 with the remaining P-3 Orion squadrons relocating to MCBH Kaneohe Bay. The USCG still maintains their SAR Helo squadrons at Barbers Point.

Regarding walt323 post #90

Nice NAS Whidbey patches.  I don't recall seeing these.  Anyone know the dates these may have been issued / made?  They look fairly recent.  Thanks.
