Official USS Carl Vinson 2021-22 Cruise Patch — History Aboard CVN-70
The first F-35C. The first CMV-22B. The first carrier air wing of the future. Carl Vinson made history.
USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) departed San Diego on August 2, 2021, carrying Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) into the Indo-Pacific for what would become one of the most significant carrier deployments in modern naval aviation history. Aboard were the F-35C Lightning IIs of VFA-147 "Argonauts" — the first operational deployment of the Navy's fifth-generation stealth fighter at sea — alongside the CMV-22B Ospreys of VRM-30 "Titans," replacing the C-2A Greyhound for carrier onboard delivery. The air wing also included Super Hornets, Growlers from VAQ-136, E-2D Hawkeyes from VAW-113, and MH-60R/S helicopters from HSM-78 and HSC-4. This cruise patch, created by VFA-147, commemorates the deployment that proved the "air wing of the future" concept, integrating 5th-generation capabilities into carrier operations at an unprecedented scale.
Perfect For: USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) sailors, CVW-2 aircrew and maintainers, VFA-147 Argonauts, VRM-30 Titans, F-35C Lightning II community, 2021-22 deployment veterans, and anyone who was part of naval aviation history aboard the Gold Eagle.
USS Carl Vinson 2021-22 — the future deployed here first.
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.
