Officially Licensed HMH-362 CH-53D Super Dee Patch — USMC Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron Embroidered Patch
The "Super Dee" — the CH-53D that served as the Marine Corps' heavy lifter before the Echo model.
HMH-362 "Ugly Angels" operated the CH-53D Sea Stallion — affectionately known as the "Super Dee" — before the Marine Corps transitioned to the more powerful CH-53E Super Stallion. The CH-53D was the Marine Corps' first true heavy-lift helicopter, capable of carrying troops, cargo, and vehicles that smaller helicopters could not handle. The Super Dee served from the Vietnam era through the 1990s, and HMH-362 was among the squadrons that kept the D-model flying. This patch honors the airframe that defined an era of Marine heavy-lift aviation.
Perfect For:
HMH-362 Ugly Angels CH-53D veterans, Super Dee crews and maintainers, Marine heavy helicopter legacy aviators, and USMC aircraft-specific patch collectors.
Super Dee. The original heavy lifter.
