An identical badge was discussed here, although with no definite ID other than it 'might' be connected to the USS Flying Fish:

Ah, yes, that's what i was thinking!
I believe a Dealer has the badge, and my friend was thinking about purchasing it.....

....save his money, it's better spent on something better !!

I personally think this is a high quality item and definitely represents something either a US navy submarine or torpedo squadron but the trick is trying to find out what!

I have owned one, it's cast, and not high quality.
Regards steve
