Officially Licensed US Navy Naval Weapons Station Earle Patch — Naval Weapons Station Earle, Colts Neck, New Jersey Embroidered Patch
Naval Weapons Station Earle — arming the Atlantic Fleet.
Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Earle is a United States Navy installation located in Colts Neck, New Jersey, serving as the primary weapons loading facility for the Atlantic Fleet. Named after Rear Admiral Ralph Earle, a former Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, the station has been a critical node in the Navy's weapons logistics chain since World War II.
NWS Earle occupies a unique position in the Navy's infrastructure — its pier complex at Leonardo, New Jersey, extends nearly three miles into Sandy Hook Bay, connected to the main station by a secured rail line. This design allows ammunition ships and combat vessels to load weapons in a relatively isolated setting, far from populated areas, ensuring maximum safety during the handling of explosive ordnance. The station stores, maintains, and issues every type of conventional ordnance used by Atlantic Fleet surface ships, from missiles and torpedoes to bombs and gun ammunition. Without NWS Earle, the Atlantic Fleet's combat readiness would be fundamentally compromised — ships cannot fight without weapons, and Earle ensures they're always armed and ready.
This patch represents NWS Earle's weapons logistics mission.
Perfect For: NWS Earle personnel past and present, Navy ordnance and logistics professionals, Atlantic Fleet support installation collectors, and military base patch enthusiasts.
Arming the Fleet — NWS Earle.
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.
