Officially Licensed US Navy VP-6 Blue Sharks Patch — Patrol Squadron 6 Maritime Patrol Aviation Embroidered Patch
The Blue Sharks — Pacific Fleet patrol warriors who hunted submarines from Hawaii.
Patrol Squadron 6 (VP-6), the "Blue Sharks," was a U.S. Navy maritime patrol squadron based in Hawaii that conducted anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and maritime surveillance missions across the Pacific Ocean. VP-6 operated the P-3 Orion, flying long-duration patrol missions over the vast Pacific to track submarine movements, monitor shipping lanes, and maintain the maritime domain awareness that kept the fleet informed and the nation safe.
The Blue Sharks were part of the Hawaii-based patrol aviation community that sat at the strategic center of the Pacific, with the ability to deploy rapidly to forward operating locations from Japan to the Indian Ocean. P-3 Orion crews flew missions lasting ten hours or more, operating sonobuoys, magnetic anomaly detection equipment, and advanced acoustic sensors to find and track submarines hiding in the deep Pacific. VP-6's Blue Sharks maintained the patient vigilance and tactical expertise that defined the maritime patrol community during the Cold War and beyond. The squadron was disestablished as part of the post-Cold War consolidation of patrol squadrons.
Perfect For:
VP-6 Blue Sharks veterans, P-3 Orion aircrew, Hawaii-based naval aviation personnel, Cold War maritime patrol aviators, and US Navy patrol squadron patch collectors.
Blue Sharks. Pacific hunters.
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.
