This is a 1970s patch for the United States Navy's USS Philadelphia SSN-690, a nuclear attack submarine. Philadelphia was launched from Groton, Connecticut on October 19, 1974, serving for exactly 33 years. The patch shows an eagle perched upon the Liberty Bell.

Circa 1970s.

Approximately 4-13/16" in diameter.

This is from a United States Navy collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MGX96 LBCX1/12 SBJX6/13

7+ (Very Fine+): The patch shows some light to medium wear with some buckling.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
