Can anyone tell me where I might find a couple of caps or the cap patch for the USS Cochrane? I'm not in the Navy, but am in the AF and would like it since we have the name in common. Thanks!!

Every now and then one pops up on Ebay but if you want one sooner you can check the following links. There are other places that do this but you will have to do a search. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I'll look at them.

It is possible to get new caps made. For a price. My shipmate on the McCormick (DDG- had some made for that vessel. It cost him mucho dinero, but I value that cap like I never did the ship itself.

Hey Rob, there are numerous sites that have ship ballcaps. Just type in U.S. Navy ballcaps and do a search. Believe me, your be amazed at the number of sites that have caps.
