The movie takes place in 1964 in Australia, one of the only habitable areas left on earth after World War III. The real-life Sawfish (SS-276) went on ten World War II patrols and earned eight battle stars for her trouble. This patch shows a light blue sub at the center of a nuclear symbol. Listed separately for sale is a shoulder arc prop from the same movie that came to us with the shoulder arc (please see link at bottom of page for more information).
