The Submarine Combat Patrol Pin is awarded for what achievement?

The Submarine Combat Patrol Pin is awarded for what achievement?

• A. Awarded for completed combat patrols during wartime (last awarded WWII).
• B. Awarded for successful naval air missions.
• C. Awarded for reconnaissance patrols in peacetime.
• D. Awarded for completing a single training patrol.

Answer: (A)

The Submarine Combat Patrol Pin recognizes crews who completed a combat patrol during wartime, meaning the submarine actively engaged the enemy and achieved results such as sinking or damaging ships. This is a wartime achievement, and the last time the pin was awarded was during World War II. It doesn’t apply to peacetime reconnaissance, naval air missions, or a routine training patrol, since those activities are not considered combat patrols.
