Officially Licensed US Navy VP-46 Gray Knights "Backstabber" Patches — Patrol Squadron 46 Gray Knights Backstabber Variant Embroidered Patch
Gray Knights Backstabber — VP-46's unofficial morale variant.
This VP-46 "Gray Knights" Backstabber variant patch is a morale design that adds a tongue-in-cheek twist to the squadron's official identity. "Backstabber" patches are a Navy aviation tradition — unofficial morale variants that poke fun at squadron life, inter-squadron rivalries, or the everyday absurdities of military service with irreverent humor.
VP-46 Gray Knights operate the P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft, conducting long-range anti-submarine warfare, maritime surveillance, and intelligence collection missions across the world's oceans. Maritime patrol duty involves long hours of monotonous flying punctuated by intense moments of tactical action, creating an environment where dark humor and morale patches thrive. The "Backstabber" variant captures that spirit — a playful jab at squadron politics, interservice rivalries, or whatever story inspired the design. These unofficial variant patches are often produced in limited quantities and become highly sought-after collectibles that capture a specific moment in squadron culture.
This Backstabber variant captures VP-46's morale culture.
Perfect For: VP-46 Gray Knights personnel, maritime patrol morale patch collectors, P-3 Orion enthusiasts, and limited-edition variant squadron patch fans.
Backstabber — VP-46 Gray Knights.
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.
