Help With ID’ing USN Patches ID: Sub Chaser Training Center & VP-49

[militbuff]

I recently picked up these USN patches but I can’t ID them.  Any assistance would be much appreciated!

You've got a real winner there....

 

 

SUB CHASER TRAINING CENTER - Miami, Florida 1944 "The Donald Duck Navy" 

USN Submarine Chasers - Patrol Craft Escort/Rescue (PCE) & EPCE(R)

 

 

 

and...

 

 

That's a JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) Mariner squadron patch, not sure which one yet.  Thought it may be associated with the USS ORCA and hopefully we'll ID this one too.
