What Squadron Patch is on this Home Front Patched Up Mountain Troop Pack

[Navybean]

I picked up this great WW2 era MT troop pack from a long time picker.  The pack is a named to a Vietnam era USN vet who was big into the boy Scouts.   He added a number of WW2 era patches to a nice MT troop pack.  On the bottom of the pack is a interesting Squadron patch that i can not find the identification for.  Looks like maybe a USN sub hunter patch or a training patch?  

Anyone have a idea?
