Tonomachi Posted January 27, 2009 #1 Posted January 27, 2009 This might be a WW2 era or 1950s era patch. I've seen similar designs having to do with cargo handling but this is something else due to the machine guns in the tentacles. Does anyone know what this is.
JBFloyd Posted January 27, 2009 #2 Posted January 27, 2009 Looks like machine guns and aerial depth charges, so I'd look toward anti-submarine warfare squadrons.
Airborne-Hunter Posted January 28, 2009 #3 Posted January 28, 2009 Looks similar to a UDT patch from the 50's. It's just a hunch, it looks similar but I'm no expert in that patch area. Hope this helps

Hope this helps Is this what you were thinking about. I believe this was drawn on the bottom of a rubber inflatable boat of the type used by the Naval Combat Demolition Units during WW2. I've never seen it made into a patch. Do you remember seeing this design as a patch.

I've seen similar designs having to do with cargo handling but this is something else due to the machine guns in the tentacles. Does anyone know what this is. What size is the patch? I'm guessing it's a USN squadron patch. I've seen it before but will need to do some digging in my files for an ID. I'll let you know what I find out but think it's either an FASRON CASU or VC squadron. If you need a new home for it, PM me. Jeffro

Bob Hudson Posted January 28, 2009 #7 Posted January 28, 2009 Helicopter anti-submarine squadron HS-5 used something similar way back when:
