firefighter Posted September 13 Share #1 Posted September 13 I bought this patch thinking it was from her time in Vietnam. After some research it's her original WW2 patch The last picture is from the USS NJ Vet group page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted September 17 Share #4 Posted September 17 Despite what the reunion page depicts, I'm fairly certain that that is her mid-1950's era patch made by Gemsco. The web page captions do not mean that those were the corresponding patches from those wars, merely that the New Jersey participated in those conflicts. The lion design was revived in the 1990's recommissioning for Desert Storm. I've listed many of the BB-62 patches on the USMF Battleship page Nice early patch and a nice pick up.
