Officially Licensed US Navy VP-40 Fighting Marlins Patch — Patrol Squadron 40 Maritime Patrol Aviation Embroidered Patch
The Fighting Marlins — maritime patrol warriors hunting from the Pacific.
Patrol Squadron 40 (VP-40), the "Fighting Marlins," is a U.S. Navy maritime patrol squadron that operates the P-8A Poseidon, conducting anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence collection, and maritime surveillance missions worldwide. VP-40 deploys to forward operating locations across the globe, tracking submarine movements, monitoring surface traffic, and maintaining the maritime domain awareness that is essential to American naval superiority.
The Fighting Marlins have served continuously in the maritime patrol community, transitioning from the venerable P-3C Orion to the Boeing P-8A Poseidon — a 737-based platform that revolutionized the maritime patrol and reconnaissance mission with advanced sensors, high-speed networking, and the ability to coordinate with unmanned systems. VP-40's crews fly missions lasting hours over open ocean, maintaining the patient vigilance and tactical expertise required to find, track, and if necessary target the world's increasingly capable submarine fleets. The Fighting Marlins maintain one of the highest operational tempos in the patrol aviation community.
Perfect For:
VP-40 Fighting Marlins personnel and veterans, P-8A Poseidon and P-3C Orion aircrew, maritime patrol aviation enthusiasts, and US Navy patrol squadron patch collectors.
Fighting Marlins. Hunt from the deep blue.
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.
