Cold War-era US Navy submarine presentation piece awarded at the 83rd Submarine Birthday Ball on April 9, 1983. The front inscription is hand-signed by a Rear Admiral, USN (RADM) and dedicated for 20 years of qualified submarine service. The back retains its original, untouched paper backing with handwritten provenance identifying the recipient as Master Chief (SS) Thoresen. The frame is original to the piece, featuring a handmade string hanger and a light honey-oak finish typical of early-1980s Navy presentation framing. This is an authentic, era-correct submarine-force service award with complete provenance – not a reproduction or modern décor print. Frame: original honey-oak, clean with light age. Backing: flat, unbroken, never opened. Hanger: original handmade string. Print: clean, no moisture or fading. Glass: clear, no cracks.

Vintage US NAVY SUBMARINE Brass Plaque – USS WILLIAM H BATES SSN 680. This plaque is in good condition with some minor wear and fading from age. Bates, a Sturgeon-class attack submarine, was planned to be the second U. However, upon the 22 June 1969 death of William H. Representative from Massachusetts’s 6th Congressional District known for his staunch support of nuclear propulsion in the U. Navy, she was renamed William H. Navy to have borne the name. The reason for her naming by then-Secretary of the Navy John Chafee, breaking with a long-standing Navy tradition of naming U. Navy attack submarines for sea creatures, was best summed up by Admiral Hyman Rickover, the then-director of the Navy’s nuclear reactors program, with the pithy comment that, Fish don’t vote!
