Description: Vintage original Vietnam war in-country machine-embroidered patch, size is 3.2" by 3.5" - used condition. A great find for any military collectible enthusiast. In mid-1958, USS Hornet was converted to an antisubmarine warfare support carrier and redesignated CVS-12. In her new role, she continued to make regular Seventh Fleet deployments through the next decade and lent support to combat operations off Southeast Asia during Vietnam War. She also served as recovery ship for several space flights, including the Apollo 11 and 12 trips to the Moon in 1969. USS Hornet decommissioned for the last time in June 1970. Following nearly two decades in "mothballs", she was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in July 1989 and sold for breaking up in April 1993. However, the old carrier was saved from the scrap heap by the efforts of historically minded citizens and in 1998 became a memorial and museum ship at Alameda, California. Hornet serves in that capacity to this day. For any unsatisfactory reason, item can be returned within 30 days for full refund. For more selection, please visit our eBay store. Thanks!
