Description: (LARGE) EXTREMELY RARE because it is an ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC back-patch from the US NAVY'S USS KITTY HAWK (CV-66)'s 1992 Mediterranean/Persian Gulf Combat Cruise. It says "BOHICA" (Bend Over Here It Comes Again) - (top), "NOTHING NEW IN '92" (bottom), and shows the "theme" of the deployment: MED was "CLOSED FOR THE WINTER HOLIDAYS" / PERSIAN GULF was "OPEN IN THE SPRING" (Jebel-Ali port call? This patch has "no" backing, a "merrowed black" border, has a "fully embroidered" background, does not have velcro on the back, no sew holes, and shows the dimensions in the photos...the ruler on the right is 6".This is from THE BEST NAVAL AVIATION PATCH COLLECTION I've ever seen, and comes from a retired US NAVY CAPTAIN's collection I just acquired, and hope to find this gem a good home. This is an ORIGINAL ONE-OF only, so grab it while you can. This is an AUTHENTIC patch obtained by the officer (obviously, an AVID patch collector) during his many years of service.
