Interesting Submarine Badge. USS Pennsylvania SSBN-735

[irish]

This sub badge was part of Submarine related collection I had purchased a few years back. This badge was given to attendees and dignitaries attending the Commissioning of the Submarine in the late 1980's. The badge is normal size and made from coal as a tip of the hat to one of Pennsylvania's main industries. An interesting piece. Pin to the reverse.

Thanks Mikie, I thought so too.

That is very cool. I wonder how many were made.

A very unique badge. I'll bet there's not too many out there as it's probably somewhat brittle.

That was for the USS Scranton ssn-756 they also had a model of the submarine made of coal as well that I got at the SOS a few years ago.

Thank you for the additional information. The tag attached to mine had Pennsylvania, but Scranton would work too.
