The Sitting Ducks of Inchon


Recommended Posts

The USS DeHaven, USS Henderson, USS Gurke, USS Collett, USS Mansfield and the USS Lyman K Swenson all ships of DESDIV 91 were sent to perform NGFS just prior to the landing at Inchon.  The link has a very good write up on this action and why/how they picked up the name of the Sitting Ducks.   This patch is from the USS Lyman K Swenson DD 729.  The patch is 7.5 inches high.  Enjoy

Pretty nice detail on the revolvers and the outline of the plane. Thanks for sharing another navy patch.

Thanks for the history lesson. My knowledge of the Korean War isn’t very extensive. So this is welcome.
