Officially Licensed US Navy VP-93 Executioners Patch - U.S. Navy Reserve Patrol Squadron 93 (VP-93) Executioners, Lockheed P-3 Orion Maritime Patrol and Anti-Submarine Warfare Officially Licensed Embroidered Patch.
Paratus Persequi — Ready to Execute — the motto of the Executioners, a Navy Reserve patrol squadron that hunted submarines, enforced embargoes, and flew over 40,000 mishap-free hours across 18 years of Cold War service.
VP-93 was established on 1 July 1976 at Naval Air Facility Detroit, Michigan, as the last reserve patrol squadron formed during the Naval Air Reserve reorganization of the 1970s. Flying the Lockheed P-3 Orion under Commander Reserve Patrol Wing, Atlantic, the Executioners completed 17 major overseas deployments across their entire service life. The squadron's officially approved insignia tells the full story in a single image: a medieval executioner rising from the ocean depths with a raised ax aimed at a surfaced submarine, with red all-seeing eyes representing the P-3's electronic search suite, and the executioner's belt drawn as a direct reference to Orion's Belt. In 1993, VP-93 deployed to NAS Sigonella and Naval Station Rota flying armed Harpoon antiship missile patrols in support of Operation Maritime Guard over the Adriatic, enforcing UN cease-fire terms during the Bosnian conflict. The squadron closed its flight operations on 24 March 1994 having flown the Navy's last operational P-3B mission, and was formally disestablished on 30 September 1994. A preserved P-3B Orion now stands at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan as a lasting tribute to the unit's legacy.
Perfect For: VP-93 veterans and alumni, Navy Reserve patrol aviation collectors, P-3 Orion aircrew and maintainers, NAF Detroit and Selfridge ANGB historians, Cold War naval aviation enthusiasts, Operation Maritime Guard participants, shadow box builders, squadron reunion displays, challenge coin and patch board collections, and anyone preserving the story of Navy Reserve maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare heritage from the 1976 to 1994 era.
Executioners heritage, stitched in detail for the crews who flew the Orion and kept the watch.
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.
