US Coast Guard MH-65E Dolphin Shoulder Patch — The Short-Range Rescue Helicopter That Never Stops Flying
The Dolphin is the Coast Guard's first responder in the air — the helicopter that's always ready to launch when the call comes in.
The Airbus MH-65E Dolphin is the United States Coast Guard's short-range recovery helicopter — the fast, agile aircraft that responds to the majority of Coast Guard search and rescue cases along the nation's coastlines, harbors, and inland waterways. The Dolphin is stationed at Coast Guard air stations across the country, maintaining a continuous ready-alert posture that allows crews to launch within minutes of receiving a distress call. The MH-65E variant features upgraded engines, modern avionics, a rescue hoist, FLIR sensors, and the capability to operate in instrument meteorological conditions — the kind of weather that makes rescue operations most necessary and most dangerous. Dolphin crews perform search and rescue, law enforcement, drug interdiction, port security, and environmental protection missions, often operating in close coordination with Coast Guard cutters and small boats. The Dolphin's speed, agility, and ability to operate from small flight decks make it ideally suited for the Coast Guard's diverse mission set, from rescuing swimmers off crowded beaches to intercepting drug-running go-fast boats in the Caribbean. This shoulder patch represents the Dolphin and the Coast Guard aviators who fly it.
Perfect For: Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin aircrew and maintainers, Coast Guard aviation community members, search and rescue professionals, and anyone who has served in Coast Guard rotary-wing aviation.
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.
