Officially Licensed HSL-47 Saberhawks Squadron Patch — Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 47 Saberhawks Embroidered Patch
Saberhawks — HSL-47's anti-submarine warfare legacy.
Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 47 (HSL-47) "Saberhawks" was a United States Navy helicopter squadron that operated from surface combatants as part of Carrier Strike Group 5 (CSG-5) and Carrier Air Wing 5 (CVW-5), deploying aboard USS George Washington (CVN-73) and other ships from NAF Atsugi, Japan.
HSL-47's Saberhawks conducted anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) missions from the flight decks of cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, extending the surface combatant's sensor and weapons reach far beyond the ship's horizon. The Saberhawks flew the SH-60B Seahawk helicopter, using its dipping sonar, sonobuoys, and torpedoes to hunt submarines while also providing surface surveillance and over-the-horizon targeting for the ship's missile systems. HSL-47 was later redesignated as HSM-77 Saberhawks when the Navy consolidated its light airborne multi-purpose system (LAMPS) helicopter squadrons. The Saberhawks' forward-deployed posture in Japan made them one of the most operationally active helicopter squadrons in the Navy.
This patch preserves HSL-47's anti-submarine legacy.
Perfect For: HSL-47/HSM-77 Saberhawks veterans, SH-60B Seahawk crews, anti-submarine warfare helicopter pilots, and legacy squadron patch collectors.
Saberhawks hunt — HSL-47.
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.
