Seller: bonanzacollectibles ✉️ (318) 100%, Location: Bel Air, Maryland, US, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 111627078691 Rare Historic 1960 USS Triton submarine grouping - Medallion, Patch, Medals. This is a rare and historic grouping attributed to a sailor aboard the infamous submarine USS Triton (SSRN 586). These items belonged to Hugh M. Bennett, who served from World War II into the 1960s. Hugh Bennett was a crewman aboard the USS Triton in 1960 as the sub made the first submerged circumnavigation of the world. This is truly a fascinating grouping. The grouping consists of a USS Triton medallion that was given to each crewman aboard the USS Triton during the circumnavigation feat. The medallion was presented to each crewman by Ned Beach, who had the medallions cast in Bremerhaven, Germany when the USS Triton visited the port there in the fall of 1960. The medallion has the name Hugh M. Bennett engraved on one side. The medallion is encased in lucite and in very good condition. The grouping also consists of a USS Triton patch that is about 5" in length, full size medals, miniature medals, and insignia that belonged to Hugh Bennett. The full size medals are an engraved and 1948 dated Navy Good Conduct medal with three stars, an American Campaign medal, an Asiatic-Pacific Campaign medal, a WWII Victory medal, a China Service medal, a National Defense Service medal, and a Navy Achievement medal. Five of the full size medals are bar mounted. There are also six miniature medals, which are bar mounted. There is a silver submarine badge, 1.5" in length, that is clutch back and marked sterling/H&H. There are also two small gold oak leaf clutch back pins. All of the items are in very good condition (there is a stain on the ribbon of the miniature China Service medal). Please see pictures to judge the condition of the items. This is a very historic naval grouping. It would make an excellent addition to any military collection. Please email me with any questions.
