This is an unidentified patch for the "Whiskey Tigers" SSB Club. In United States Navy lingo, SSB means Submersible Ship Ballistic, or ballistic missile-carrying submarines, so this is a possible link to the patch. The patch appears to be of 1960s construction, and shows a tiger perched upon a bottle of whiskey.
