Officially Licensed US Navy HSL-40 Airwolves Squadron Patch — Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 40 Embroidered Patch
Airwolves — training every East Coast Seahawk crew since 1985.
Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 40 (HSL-40), the "Airwolves," was established on 4 October 1985 at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, as one of only two SH-60B Seahawk Fleet Readiness Squadrons in the world. The Airwolves' mission was to train fleet replacement pilots and aircrew to "fight and win at sea" — and every East Coast helicopter crew that strapped into a Seahawk passed through HSL-40's program first.
With 12 aircraft, three weapons/tactics trainers, and two full-motion flight simulators, HSL-40 trained pilots and aircrew of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet along with foreign students from around the globe. The squadron's 58 fleet-seasoned instructor pilots and aircrew conducted aircraft, ground, and simulator training events that prepared students for the challenge of serving on operational SH-60B detachments aboard small-deck warships at sea. In November 2009, HSL-40 was redesignated Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 40 (HSM-40) and transitioned to the MH-60R Seahawk. This patch honors the original HSL-40 Airwolves identity.
Perfect For: HSL-40 and HSM-40 Airwolves personnel past and present, SH-60B and MH-60R Seahawk crews, Naval Station Mayport aviators, Fleet Replacement Squadron graduates, and Navy helicopter squadron patch collectors.
Airwolves — past, present, and always ready.
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.
