Official MH-53E Sea Dragon Leather Shoulder Patch
The mighty Sea Dragon — in leather worthy of the beast.
The Sikorsky MH-53E Sea Dragon is the U.S. Navy's heavy-lift airborne mine countermeasures helicopter, the largest and most powerful helicopter in the Western military inventory. The Sea Dragon conducts mine sweeping operations using towed sleds and sonar equipment, clearing shipping lanes and harbor approaches to protect the fleet and commercial maritime traffic. The MH-53E also performs vertical onboard delivery (VOD) missions, moving heavy cargo and equipment to ships at sea. With its three engines, massive airframe, and distinctive in-flight refueling probe, the Sea Dragon is an imposing presence on any flight deck. This official leather shoulder patch honors the aircraft and the crews who fly and maintain one of naval aviation's most demanding platforms.
Perfect For:
MH-53E Sea Dragon aircrew and maintainers, Navy mine countermeasures community members, heavy-lift helicopter enthusiasts, leather flight jacket collectors, and naval aviation heritage collectors.
The heaviest hitter in the helicopter fleet.
