Polaris Tartan

[Kilted Rogue]

I served on USS Andrew Jackson SSBN 619G from Apr. '82 until Sep. 86.

By 86 he was retiring of of the NR-1. I dont think he served on the Anderew Jackson.

I was in Holy Lock on the USS Thomas Jefferson SSBN 618 Blue Crew March 1968 to December 1969.

Wear the Kilt for your Dad and wear it with pride!

I sure miss those fish & chips!

Go for it.
I wear Royal Air Force tartan to honour my late father who served in the RAF.

My opinion as a Submariner:
A lot of it comes down to "levels of fraternity." There is in this case the general fraternity of being in the Navy , then the more exclusive fraternity of the Submarine force, then within that the subset of Boomer [missile submarines for you land lubbers], and finally within that those that served on Polaris class boats or where stationed at Holy Loch which has its own tartan.

Holy Loch has its own tartan? Not according to the Scottish Registry of Tartans. If you know of a Holy Loch Tartan, I'd like to know more about it.

Dunoon has a tartan that may be my next kilt.

I used to have a flat hat in the Polaris tartan from Bells of Dunoon. It's long gone somewhere in my past. Does anyone have any ideas on finding a replacement?

Umm, Bell's of Dunoon? If you don't find what you're looking for, there is a Contact link. I've emailed with them so I suspect they will answer any questions you have.

I, too, used to have a flat cap that I used to wear everywhere until I misplaced it someplace. No desire to replace it though.

I think that was a misplaced modifier and he was referring to the Polaris tartan

I contacted Bells of Dunoon last year and they don't carry the tartan anymore since the tender is long gone.
