Destroyer Squadron 23 The Little Beaver Patch — The Most Decorated Destroyer Squadron in WWII
Destroyer Squadron 23, the Little Beavers, compiled one of the most impressive combat records of World War II under Captain Arleigh Burke.
Destroyer Squadron 23, known as the Little Beavers, achieved legendary fame during World War II under the command of Captain Arleigh Burke (later Admiral and Chief of Naval Operations). The Little Beavers fought in a series of decisive surface engagements in the Solomon Islands, earning the Presidential Unit Citation and establishing Burke's reputation as one of the greatest destroyer tacticians in naval history. DESRON 23's aggressive, fast-moving destroyer tactics became the standard for surface warfare, and Burke's name was later given to the most numerous class of guided-missile destroyers in the Navy.
Perfect For: Destroyer Squadron 23 heritage fans, Arleigh Burke admirers, WWII surface warfare historians, and Navy destroyer embroidered patch collectors.
Little Beavers — Arleigh Burke's legendary destroyers.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
