Official US Navy HSM-72/USS Harry S Truman Trumanati Patch — Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 72 Proud Warriors / USS Harry S. Truman CVN-75 "Trumanati" Embroidered Patch
The Trumanati — HSM-72 and USS Harry S. Truman, a cruise patch that proves what happens on deployment is classified (or at least it should be).
This morale patch combines Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 72 (HSM-72), the "Proud Warriors," with USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) in a "Trumanati" design — a play on the word "Illuminati" combined with the carrier's name. The "Trust No One" element adds to the conspiratorial humor, creating a tongue-in-cheek deployment patch that plays on secret society themes.
HSM-72 operates the MH-60R Seahawk, the Navy's premier anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare helicopter. When deployed aboard USS Harry S. Truman, HSM-72's helicopters operate from the carrier and its escort vessels, providing the carrier strike group with organic ASW and ASUW capability. The "Trumanati" patch celebrates the unique bond formed between the air wing's helicopter squadron and the carrier during a deployment — months at sea create inside jokes, shared experiences, and unit identity that only those who were there fully understand.
Cruise patches like the Trumanati design are treasured keepsakes that capture the personality and humor of a specific deployment.
Perfect For: HSM-72 Proud Warriors members, USS Harry S. Truman sailors, Truman deployment veterans, cruise patch collectors, and Navy morale patch enthusiasts.
HSM-72 Trumanati — trust no one, fly everything — what happens on the Truman stays on the Truman.
