Official HSC-8 Eightballers SMOL Det Shoulder Patch — Small Detachment, Big Impact
The Eightballers' SMOL Det proves that size doesn't matter when you've got MH-60S capability.
Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 8, the Eightballers, deploy small detachments aboard surface combatants and auxiliary vessels, bringing MH-60S Seahawk capability to ships that don't carry a full helicopter squadron. These SMOL (small) detachments operate with remarkable independence, maintaining their aircraft and executing missions ranging from vertical replenishment to search and rescue with minimal support. HSC-8's SMOL Det represents the Eightballers' ability to project rotary-wing capability in the most compact format possible.
Perfect For: HSC-8 SMOL Det members, Eightballers aircrew, small detachment veterans, and deployed det patch collectors.
SMOL on size, massive on capability — the Eightballers deliver regardless of scale.
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.
