Officially Licensed US Navy VP-5 Mad Foxes Patch — Patrol Squadron Five P-8A Poseidon Embroidered Patch
Mad Foxes — cunning, relentless, and always on the hunt.
Patrol Squadron Five (VP-5) "Mad Foxes" is a United States Navy maritime patrol squadron based at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, operating the P-8A Poseidon. The Mad Foxes are one of the Navy's most experienced maritime patrol squadrons, with a lineage that stretches back to the dawn of naval patrol aviation and a reputation for excellence in anti-submarine warfare and maritime surveillance.
VP-5 operates the Boeing P-8A Poseidon on missions that take the Mad Foxes across every ocean on the planet. The squadron's core mission set includes anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Mad Foxes crews deploy from Jacksonville to forward operating locations around the world, hunting submarines with advanced acoustic sensors, monitoring surface vessel traffic with radar and electro-optical systems, and gathering critical intelligence for fleet commanders and national-level decision makers. VP-5's transition from the venerable P-3C Orion to the P-8A Poseidon gave the Mad Foxes unprecedented speed, altitude capability, and sensor performance while maintaining the long-endurance maritime patrol capability that has defined the squadron since its earliest days.
This patch represents one of the Navy's premier maritime patrol squadrons.
Perfect For: VP-5 Mad Foxes veterans, P-8A Poseidon crews, NAS Jacksonville maritime patrol community, and anti-submarine warfare enthusiasts.
