Officially Licensed US Navy VP-23 Seahawks Patch — Patrol Squadron 23 Maritime Patrol Aviation Embroidered Patch
The Seahawks of VP-23 — Atlantic Fleet sub hunters who kept watch from Bermuda to the North Atlantic.
Patrol Squadron 23 (VP-23), the "Seahawks," was a U.S. Navy maritime patrol squadron based at NAS Brunswick, Maine. VP-23 operated the P-3C Orion and conducted anti-submarine warfare, surface surveillance, and intelligence collection missions across the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean, and Mediterranean. During the Cold War, VP-23 flew barrier patrols and surveillance missions tracking Soviet submarine activity in the GIUK (Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom) Gap — one of the most strategically critical chokepoints in the Atlantic. The Seahawks deployed extensively during the Cold War, Desert Storm, and post-9/11 operations before being disestablished as part of the consolidation of the maritime patrol community. VP-23's legacy represents decades of Atlantic Fleet vigilance.
Perfect For:
VP-23 Seahawks veterans, P-3C Orion aircrew, NAS Brunswick alumni, Cold War maritime patrol aviators, and US Navy patrol squadron patch collectors.
Seahawks. Atlantic guardians.
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.
