Im looking for a picture of a decal from the destroyer. It was a fox holding a torpedo. It was on the ship back in the 50’s. My grandfather was on the ship. I was hoping to make a patch for him as a gift. Can anyone please help with a picture or anything. Thanks. Ive searched everywhere and came up empty.
 
Battle ships are named after states (Missouri ,Arizona ,And the such ) Destroyers are named after MOH award holders.
 
Just Google USS Missouri patch and a bunch pop up.

Big head slap to myself. Its Murray not Missouri. Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe my search will yield better results now.

Yes, thank you. Found out it was a destroyer but was converted to an escort destroyer in January 1951.

These memories for him are very important. So i want to make sure I get the right time period. He did serve on the Murray from 1951-1954. So it wasn’t technically a destroyer anymore. The DDE designation is correct.
 
This is a store on Ebay. Send them the picture that A Arathol posted above and if they don't have one in stock they can make a patch for you. Anyway contact them and see what they can do.

Mods: I hope the reference to Ebay is ok in this case but this would be for a WWII era or Korean War eta Veteran and it would be nice if someone could make him up a patch.
