Patch showing damaged aircraft?

I found this patch in bin full of otherwise pretty ordinary US military patches. It seems to depict, at right, a damaged aircraft?

Any significance here? Is it even US military? Admittedly, I may be interpreting it all wrong.

Is that a Navy Aviation Ordnance rate on the left, and then a broken in half sub on the right?

 

Yes, that IS the AO symbol.

(I worked in WEPS on CVN-73 before I was a HT striker..technically, I did more with ordnance than I did as an HT..as I was only HT for a year or so.)

"Sighted Sub - Sank Same" - a famous Naval aviation sub-hunter remark made during WWII. Agree - looks Navy. Really unusual! Bobgee

Ah of course - that is a submarine... Pretty cool, thanks for the insights.

I will post a picture later of the reverse...
