WWIIEnthusiast123 Posted April 29, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2009 I recently won this hat on ebay. It's a WWII sailor's hat that he and all his crewmates signed. In the description it states that inside the rim is written "U. W.-436". Does anyone have an idea of what this means? Thanks, WWIIEnthusiast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reasonably sure the Navy calls their research centers "U W". they do research on many things including cancer, allergy causing things,etc. From what I've heard, they do great work there. The Navy also has a reserve officer training school at U W[university of Washington] I hope this helps. If I'm wrong, please advise same.
