Thanks to Lloyd Gasway for this patch
Charlie Harrington writes, “The patches, of which there are only two, were sewn in Sasebo, Japan shortly after the Korean war began. Roy F. Cooper, of Birmingham, Alabama, and I had them made from the decoration on the black matchbook that they sold in Ship's Service at that time. The Seahorse was in silver, on the black background with a silver ring encircling it. We just had the background colors changed on our own. I think the young Lady that did the patches said they wouldn't look good in all black.”
