HSM-35 was established on May 2, 2013 at NAS North Island as the Navy's first composite expeditionary helicopter squadron — purpose-built to operate both the manned MH-60R and the unmanned MQ-8B Fire Scout side-by-side from littoral combat ships and other Pacific Fleet warships. The Magicians' lineage traces back to Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 35 (HSL-35), which was commissioned in 1974, also at North Island, and disestablished in 1992 — that heritage of West Coast LAMPS and HSL-community detachment operations was carried forward when HSM-35 stood up. Today HSM-35 fields roughly nine MH-60Rs and two MQ-8B Fire Scouts with more than 280 personnel, deploying detachments aboard RAST-capable frigates, destroyers, cruisers, aircraft carriers, and the LCS class to provide anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, electronic warfare, command and control, search and rescue, and mobility for Pacific Fleet warships. This shoulder patch is the Magicians' calling card — a salute to the LAMPS heritage and the new manned-unmanned teaming era they helped pioneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: HSM-35 Magicians active-duty and veteran personnel, MH-60R Seahawk pilots and aircrew, MQ-8B Fire Scout operators, NAS North Island Sailors, Pacific Fleet helicopter community members, HSL-35 plankowners, and littoral combat ship aviation detachment veterans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMagicians — manned, unmanned, and out front since 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45108618395757,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/3Patch_2_4c50ee59-e0b3-44ac-8a90-2154c249c804.png?v=1776432579","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-hsm-35-magicians-shoulder-patch","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
