David Minton Posted November 19, 2019 Share #7 Posted November 19, 2019 1. Yes, midshipman rate. Sorry, I don't collect these, so can't help with dating them. They have had this style for a long time, so even the newer ones "look old." 2. Not WAVES. The patch you are thinking of has a prop, and is much smaller. I have a few dozen of them. 3. I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted November 19, 2019 Share #8 Posted November 19, 2019 Naval intelligence school? Maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigsaye Posted November 20, 2019 Share #9 Posted November 20, 2019 The CPO style anchor patch is a souvenir/ sweet hart item. Id see it to the front of a ball cap. The one with the red anchor, most likely not USN. Dont remember anything with a red anchor. Naval Investigative Service, is staffed with civilians. They dont wear uniforms. Those activities duty personnel assigned, wear no specific insignia. Additionally, the style of the patch and construction, are non US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
