    Friend of mine has an old wool Navy Crackerjack shirt with this felt patch. What does this patch stand for?

    A photo of the whole shirt could help.

    Looks like a telescope but that's getting me nowhere. Where on the garment is it sewn?

    The internet is telling me that the search phrase you want is "gun captain".

    Gun Captain.

    Yep, it's crude and the application looks like my work (ie, not good) but there are others like it.
