All good,

 

That's the hawaiian "rainbow fleet" version of their patch (1970's-1980's) when they were at NAS Barbers Point

 

These are the earlier versions

NAS CUBI POINT deployment 1989

 

VP-6 Blue Sharks Hangar 262 at NAS Barbers Point (closed) today - "the rainbow fleet that can't be beat"

Thanks, much appreciated.
