US Navy NAS Lemoore Patch
Naval Air Station Lemoore
Commissioned on 8 July 1961, Naval Air Station Lemoore was purpose-built as a Master Jet Base in California's Central Valley, designed from the ground up to support the demands of carrier-based jet aviation during the Cold War. Construction began in 1958 after the Navy selected the Lemoore site in 1954 for its central location, excellent flying weather, and congestion-free airspace, with more than $100 million invested to bring the station to operational status. The base features two offset parallel 13,500-foot runways and extensive hangar and maintenance facilities.
NAS Lemoore now hosts the Navy's entire West Coast fighter/attack capability following the transfer of NAS Miramar to the Marine Corps in the 1990s. The base is home to Strike Fighter Wing Pacific and supports over 175 Hornets and Super Hornets operating from one Fleet Replacement Squadron and sixteen operational fleet squadrons. In 1998, NAS Lemoore was selected as the West Coast site for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, and in 2017 received its first F-35C Lightning II aircraft, establishing the first Pacific F-35 training squadron. The station serves as the home port for aircraft assigned to Carrier Air Wings 2, 9, 11, and 17, and averages approximately 210,000 flight operations annually.
Today, NAS Lemoore serves approximately 7,200 military personnel, 1,300 civilians, and 10,900 dependents, standing as the Navy's newest and largest master jet base and the cornerstone of Pacific Fleet tactical aviation.
Perfect For: NAS Lemoore personnel and veterans, Strike Fighter Wing Pacific members, F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet pilots, F-35C Lightning II squadrons, carrier air wing sailors, and naval aviation base collectors.
Celebrating the Navy's premier West Coast tactical aviation hub, where carrier-based strike fighter readiness has been forged since 1961.
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.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
