"... The Navy's best are found upon; The pigboats black and trim; For men must be of sturdy stuff; To sink and still to swim ..."

USS Sawfish SS 276 patch. This is the older of the two shown. This is vitage WW II. The workmanship and detail is good.

This is a 1950's era version of the original patch. You an see that the workmanship is much cruder than the original shown above.
