Officially Licensed US Navy VP-22 Blue Geese Patch — Patrol Squadron 22 Maritime Patrol Aviation Embroidered Patch
The Blue Geese — maritime patrol aviators who kept watch over the world's oceans.
Patrol Squadron 22 (VP-22), the "Blue Geese," was a U.S. Navy maritime patrol squadron that conducted anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and maritime surveillance missions during the Cold War and beyond. VP-22 operated the P-3 Orion — the Navy's long-range maritime patrol aircraft — from bases across the Pacific, tracking submarine movements, monitoring shipping lanes, and maintaining the maritime domain awareness that underpinned American naval superiority.
The Blue Geese were part of the vast patrol aviation community that served as America's eyes and ears over the ocean during the Cold War. P-3 Orion crews flew long-duration missions lasting ten hours or more, deploying sonobuoys, operating magnetic anomaly detection equipment, and using radar and electronic sensors to find and track Soviet submarines operating far from their home ports. VP-22's crews maintained the patient, methodical vigilance that defined the maritime patrol mission — hours of careful searching punctuated by moments of intense tactical prosecution when a contact was detected. The Blue Geese were disestablished as part of the post-Cold War consolidation of patrol squadrons, but their legacy endures among maritime patrol aviation veterans.
Perfect For:
VP-22 Blue Geese veterans, P-3 Orion aircrew, Cold War maritime patrol aviation personnel, and US Navy patrol squadron patch collectors.
Blue Geese. Watching the deep.
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.
