Torpedo 49 USS San Jacinto

[Vertigo]

Doe anyone out there know anything about Torpedo 49? This is the patch that was shown to me. His grandfather flew TBM's or TBF's.

Nothing but what I can look up:

Pt. 2 - Unit Awards (VT-49 was aboard San Jacinto when the Presidential Unit Citation was awarded).

Thanks. There just isn't much info about VT-49 or VF-49. VT-51 has gotten most of the attention because of Bush.
