Official EA-18G Growler SEAD Starry Night Shoulder Patch - U.S. Navy Electronic Attack Squadron EA-18G Growler Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses Starry Night Embroidered Shoulder Patch.
Jamming the spectrum, hunting the radar, owning the night — the Growler SEAD mission captured in one striking shoulder patch.
The EA-18G Growler is the Navy's dedicated airborne electronic attack platform, combining the proven F/A-18F Super Hornet airframe with a sophisticated suite of jamming systems and anti-radiation weapons. Its primary SEAD role puts it at the leading edge of every contested strike package, using the AGM-88 HARM missile and the AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System to find, suppress, and destroy enemy radar-guided air defense networks before strike aircraft ever reach the target. The Growler community is built around the Electronic Attack Squadrons, or VAQ units, nearly all of which are home-ported at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington, with one forward-deployed squadron attached to Carrier Air Wing Five at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan. The Starry Night design treatment on this shoulder patch reflects the low-observable, night-capable character of the Growler mission — a platform that thrives in the electromagnetic darkness it creates for the rest of the air wing. In the VAQ community, custom and commemorative patches are a proud tradition, and a design that pairs the Growler silhouette with a deep, starfield backdrop gives collectors and crew members a piece that reads as both operationally specific and visually distinctive on any display board or flight jacket.
Perfect For: EA-18G Growler aircrew and electronic countermeasures officers, VAQ squadron veterans and active-duty members, NAS Whidbey Island alumni, carrier air wing collectors, electronic warfare enthusiasts, SEAD mission historians, shadow box builders, deployment keepsake displays, challenge coin and patch panel collections, and anyone who wants a visually striking piece tied to the most specialized electronic attack platform in the U.S. military inventory. It also makes a meaningful gift for families, maintainers, and supporters who understand that the Growler's work happens before the bombs fall and after the radars go dark.
Starry Night, silent spectrum — the Growler's mission stitched for the collection board and the shadow box.
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.
