Product Description

Officially Licensed HSL-43 Battle Cats Throwback Patch — Seahawk Heritage from the SH-60 Era

The Battle Cats of HSL-43 hunted submarines and surface contacts from destroyer flight decks — this throwback honors that legacy.

Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 43 (HSL-43), the Battle Cats, operated the SH-60B Seahawk in the LAMPS III role, deploying aboard surface combatants to provide anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare capability. This throwback embroidered patch connects to the Battle Cats' heritage before they transitioned into HSM-73, the modern Battlecats. HSL-43 flew from the flight decks of cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, extending the ship's sensor and weapons reach far beyond the horizon. The Battle Cats' crews operated independently from small ship platforms, requiring exceptional skill and self-sufficiency.

Perfect For: HSL-43 Battle Cats veterans, HSM-73 heritage enthusiasts, SH-60B Seahawk crews, LAMPS III community members, and Navy helicopter throwback patch collectors.

Battle Cats — throwback to the Seahawk's destroyer days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
