Official VP-1 Screaming Eagles 2023 DET Patch — Hunting Subs Since '43
From U-boats in the Atlantic to submarines in the Pacific — VP-1 finds what doesn't want to be found.
Patrol Squadron ONE (VP-1) "Screaming Eagles" is one of Naval Aviation's oldest and most storied patrol squadrons, currently flying the Boeing P-8A Poseidon out of NAS Whidbey Island, Washington. Established as Bombing Squadron 128 on February 15, 1943, the squadron immediately went to work hunting German U-boats off the East Coast and Iceland, recording its first confirmed kill — sinking U-279 — in October 1943. The squadron then transferred to the Pacific, sinking Japanese midget submarines in the Philippines. VP-1 made history by completing a full-squadron around-the-world flight, proving the Navy could rapidly deploy patrol assets anywhere on the globe. The squadron flew eight combat deployments in Vietnam, served during the Iranian Hostage Crisis out of Diego Garcia, and supported Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. In 2019, VP-1 transitioned from the venerable P-3C Orion to the P-8A Poseidon, embarking on its first Poseidon deployment in 2020. This 2023 DET patch marks another chapter in an 80-year legacy of finding the enemy below the waves.
Perfect For: VP-1 Screaming Eagles aircrew and maintainers, P-8 Poseidon community members, P-3 Orion veterans, NAS Whidbey Island personnel, maritime patrol aviators, and anyone who hunts submarines for a living.
Screaming Eagles — Patron One, setting the standard since 1943.
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.
