Official HSM-37 Easy Riders MH-60R Shoulder Patch - Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 (HSM-37) Easy Riders MH-60R Seahawk Embroidered Shoulder Patch, based at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
Easy Riders identity, Pacific Fleet reach, and the quiet authority of the Navy's largest expeditionary helicopter squadron in one embroidered shoulder patch.
HSM-37 traces its roots to 3 July 1975, when the squadron was established as HSL-37 at Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii. It earned a place in naval aviation history by becoming the first U.S. Navy squadron to transition from the SH-2F Seasprite to the SH-60B Seahawk in 1992, and later moved to Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Kaneohe Bay in 1999. Redesignated HSM-37 on 1 October 2013 as it began fielding the MH-60R Seahawk, the Easy Riders today stand as the largest expeditionary helicopter squadron in the U.S. Navy, operating fifteen MH-60R Seahawks deployed aboard Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and Ticonderoga-class cruisers homeported at Pearl Harbor. The MH-60R mission set covers anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, electromagnetic warfare, search and rescue, and special operations support, giving the Easy Riders a broad and demanding operational footprint across the Pacific and beyond. This shoulder patch captures that full identity, from the Hawaii-based heritage and ship-deck operations to the modern Romeo airframe that defines the squadron today.
Perfect For: Navy helicopter veterans, MH-60R Seahawk aircrew, HSM-37 Easy Riders alumni, Pearl Harbor and Marine Corps Base Hawaii veterans, Pacific Fleet collectors, squadron maintainers, deployment keepsakes, shadow boxes, cruise book displays, challenge coin and patch boards, and anyone building a unit-history collection around Hawaii-based naval aviation and maritime strike operations. It also makes a meaningful gift for families and supporters who want a specific, researched piece tied to the Easy Riders, shipboard detachment life, and the demanding work of keeping destroyers and cruisers combat-ready at sea.
Easy Riders heritage, stitched for the flight deck, the shadow box, and the long watch at sea.
