HSM-74 Swamp Foxes Safety Fox Patch — Because Safe Foxes Fly Home
Safety brief: don't be the reason the whole squadron has to sit through another safety brief.
HSM-74 "Swamp Foxes" is a U.S. Navy Helicopter Maritime Strike squadron based at NAS Jacksonville, Florida, attached to Carrier Air Wing Three. Originally established as HSL-44, the squadron was redesignated HSM-74 on June 9, 2011, reflecting their transition from the SH-60B to the MH-60R Seahawk multi-mission helicopter. The Swamp Foxes operate twelve MH-60R helicopters across four combat elements — a carrier element and three detachments — capable of operating independently aboard cruisers, destroyers, and aircraft carriers. Their mission set covers anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, electronic warfare, search and rescue, and MEDEVAC. In October 2023, HSM-74 deployed aboard USS Eisenhower with CVW-3 and immediately conducted defensive and offensive combat operations against Houthi-Iranian military units in Yemen. This Safety Fox patch is a reminder that even the most aggressive foxes in the swamp still need to make it home in one piece.
Perfect For: HSM-74 Swamp Foxes aircrew and maintainers, CVW-3 personnel, MH-60R Romeo crews, safety officers who actually want people to wear the patch, and anyone who knows that foxholes and flight decks both demand attention to detail.
Swamp Foxes — hunting submarines and maintaining safety records since day one.
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.
