MH-53E Sea Dragon Shoulder Patch — US Navy Airborne Mine Countermeasures Helicopter Embroidered Patch
The Sea Dragon — the Navy's heavy-lift mine hunter, clearing the sea lanes so the fleet can advance.
The Sikorsky MH-53E Sea Dragon is the U.S. Navy's airborne mine countermeasures (AMCM) helicopter — the largest and most powerful helicopter in the Navy inventory. The Sea Dragon tows mine countermeasures sleds through mined waters, using the helicopter's massive power to drag mechanical, acoustic, and magnetic minesweeping equipment at the speeds and depths required to detonate or neutralize naval mines. The MH-53E also performs heavy vertical replenishment (VERTREP), moving cargo and ammunition between ships at sea. HM-14 "Vanguard" and HM-15 "Blackhawks" have been the primary Navy squadrons operating the Sea Dragon. As the MH-53E approaches the end of its service life, the aircraft will be remembered as the backbone of U.S. airborne mine warfare for over four decades.
Perfect For:
MH-53E Sea Dragon aircrew and maintainers, HM-14 and HM-15 personnel, Navy mine countermeasures community members, heavy helicopter enthusiasts, and USN aviation patch collectors.
Sea Dragon. Clearing the path.
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.
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.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
