Description: You are bidding an original late 50’/60’s s era diesel submarine patch for the USS Wahoo SS-565. This one is very hard to find as an original that’s been to sea on a deck jacket…I've never seen another like it....only reproductions. This patch is very “floppy” …and as you can see, it was removed from a jacket. This one one has some awesome patina to it that tells a story of its own. It’s been there and done that! This is about as CLASSIC a design as your ever gonna see for a boat patch! Obtained in the early 90’s while I was stationed in Groton from someone who was aboard her as a crew member. Measures 5 inches from top to bottom. I was in the US Navy submarine force for 21 years and collected thousands of original patches. I joined during the period when the most senior folks were Vietnam Vets and earlier so the majority of my patches are from the 1960's to the mid 2000's. Please check my other auctions for more original patches. There are others on EBay for many of these patches...some may be a few bucks cheaper...but mine were all purchased or traded from shipmates i served with, or purchased from the commands store or rec-committee. ****FREE SHIPPING ****I ship internationally using the EBay GSP. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks!
