Naval Ordinance Test Station Pasadena, California Police Badge
Naval Ordnance Test Station Pasadena, California Police Badge, maker marked L.A. Stamp & Staty. Co., measures approximately 2 inches x 3 inches. The Naval Ordnance Test Station had an “annex” at Pasadena staffed by professors from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) who had left their classrooms to support the war effort. The group was tasked with improving performance of the Navy’s airdropped Mark 13 torpedo. Caltech established a test facility at the Morris Reservoir Naval Weapons Test Site, located on highway 39, about 1 mile north of Morris Dam. The result of their efforts was a highly reliable torpedo that figured prominently in the 1944 Battle of Leyte Gulf, where naval aviators launching Mark 13s accounted for the majority of the 60 Japanese ships sunk.
The Navy’s Aerial Arsenal at Leyte Gulf High-performance aircraft were key when the U.S. Third and Seventh fleets faced off against Japanese surface forces, land-based planes, and carrier aircraft in October 1944. The painting depicts amid the Battle off Samar, a TBM Avenger torpedo plane (left) attacks the heavily damaged Japanese cruiser Chokai while an FM-2 Wildcat fighter banks to the left, as depicted by John Hamilton.
