Cap Badge, United States Navy, Military Sealift Command (Unk Manu - Type 2)
Title
Cap Badge, United States Navy, Military Sealift Command (Unk Manu - Type 2)
Description
Ca. 1980s-2000s. Three-piece construction. No hallmark. It was distributed by Vanguard Industries and has the same design as the old Hillborn-Hamburger badge.
This is the second design of the cap badge; the cap badge was redesigned to emphasize the merchant mariner component of the licensed officers serving in the MSC and keeping continuity with the original MSC badge design by retaining the MSC "houseflag" (NB.: there is no such flag flown by MSC vessels).
