Description: (LARGE) RARE because it is an ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC back-patch from one of the US NAVY'S USS NIMITZ (CVN-68) / Carrier Air Wing NINE (CVW-9)'s 1997-1998 Combat Deployment. It shows the map of the world with their route taken to go from the East Coast home port to the West Coast mooring. It says "AROUND THE WORLD IN (1)80 DAYS". This patch has "no" backing, a "merrowed red" border, has a "gray twill" 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.
