Up for sale is an Original 1960s US Navy USS Scorpion SSN 589 Submarine Embroidered Full Color Patch. The USS Scorpion was an early 60s nuclear submarine. It has the unfortunate distinction of being one of the few submarines lot at sea. Returning from a deployment, it mysteriously sank, taking all 99 soles with it. No official Navy cause was attributed to the sinking. The patch is in good condition but a few spots on the upper portion of the patch (see close up photo). The “white” portion of the patch is more of a yellowed or off white color and not the bright white shown in the photo. Difficult to get the camera to depict the correct color. Here is your chance to get this rare original patch into your collection.

Original vintage 1980s embroidered US Navy Mediterranean Cruise wool Jacket. Dated 1985 – 1986. Aboard the USS Coral Sea (CV-43). Two front chest flap pockets. Two lower open slash pockets. Elastic waistband and cuffs and neckline. Embroidered on back Italy, Egypt, France, Spain, Israel, Turkey, and Greece.. Assorted Country Yacht Club USN patches on front and both sleeves and dragon patches on cuffs.. French Parachutist Airborne and US Navy pin backs on front. Ferguson, with CVW-13 embarked, it was also the first deployment of the new F/A-18 Hornet to the Mediterranean. The Hornets were assigned to VFA-131 and VFA-132 in USS CORAL SEA. On 24 March 1986, Libyan armed forces fired missiles at U. Naval forces operating in the Gulf of Sidra after declaring international waters as their own. Retaliation was swift and deadly. Additionally, F/A-18 Hornets from USS CORAL SEA and A-7E Corsairs from USS AMERICA (CV 66) conducted air-to-surface Shrike and HARM missile strikes against Libyan surface-to-air missile sites at Benghazi and Tripoli on 14 and 15 April. USS CORAL SEA continued deployments to the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean area throughout the remainder of the 1980s and into the 1990s. One of the better condition versions of these jackets I’ve come across.. Quite clean and wrinkle free.. No major soiling except on a couple of the country patches.. No real noticeable holes.. Shown on men’s vintage size medium mannequin torso. 23.5 pit to pit. 25.5 top to bottom. 19.5 across shoulders. 14.5 pit to bottom. 21 across bottom opening (stretch elastic). Appears to fit like a men’s size medium. Zoom in on photos for details and overall condition and message with any questions.

1963 USS SARATOGA USN NAVY AIRCRAFT CARRIER LOG BOOK UNIFORM PATCH PHOTO LOT. A nice lot from an estate. Photo’s included, but none captioned. Embroidered patch has small ding at the bottom, unsewn, Large 1960 photo of Recruit Training is creased, torn, with heavy edge and corner wear. Photo of the deck of the carrier has creased upper corner. The log has soiled and worn cover, interior good overall. The patch measures 5 1/4d for reference. No names of whom the lot belonged to, but a photo of a sailor believed to be the owner is included. It might be a fun research project. Also included is 8 postcards from Italy, I assume picked up on leave during the cruise. Failure to read full description may result in delays and misunderstandings. I do not set rates and can’t afford to absorb these costs, being a small operation.
