Hi Johnathan
Yes this from 1970's Vietnam era, Japanese made using fake embroidery on the back ground area (note the reverse part where there is no embroidery or a plain back-no stitching).
You will see this style with US Navy patches and the same for USN and USMC Squadrons.
Yours has a personal touch hand guided embroidered.
Most patches would be machine guided.
By this time GEMSCO was out sourcing a lot of patches out of Japan.
Quite a nice attractive patch from the era.
