I've been trying to learn more about this item along with a later christening/keel laying for submarines coin I also possess. Will post more on that a bit later.
@enc, first welcome to CCF. Second, I'm not seeing a similar piece on the interwebs. Have you tried contacting Newport News to see if they have any information about this commemorative keepsake?
