Officially Licensed VP-40 Fighting Marlins Squadron Patch — Patrol Squadron 40 Fighting Marlins Embroidered Patch

Fighting Marlins — VP-40's maritime patrol excellence.

Patrol Squadron 40 (VP-40) "Fighting Marlins" is a United States Navy maritime patrol squadron operating the P-8A Poseidon from NAS Whidbey Island, Washington. The Fighting Marlins carry one of the most spirited identities in the maritime patrol community, with their motto "Laging Handa" (Filipino for "Always Ready") reflecting the squadron's constant state of operational readiness.

VP-40 operates the P-8A Poseidon, the Navy's newest maritime patrol aircraft that replaced the venerable P-3 Orion. The P-8A is a military derivative of the Boeing 737-800ERX, modified with an advanced mission suite including multi-mode radar, acoustic sensors, and the ability to launch sonobuoys and torpedoes for anti-submarine warfare. VP-40's Fighting Marlins deploy worldwide, conducting anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence collection, and maritime domain awareness missions that keep the Navy informed about submarine and surface vessel activity across the globe. The marlin — one of the ocean's most powerful and aggressive game fish — perfectly represents a maritime patrol squadron that hunts the world's oceans.

This patch represents VP-40's Fighting Marlins.

Perfect For: VP-40 Fighting Marlins personnel, P-8A Poseidon aviators, maritime patrol community members, and Navy patrol squadron patch collectors.

Laging Handa — VP-40 Fighting Marlins.
