Official VP-40 Marlins P-8A Poseidon Shoulder Patch — Laging Handa, Always Ready
The Marlins of VP-40 hunt submarines and patrol the oceans with the P-8A Poseidon — Laging Handa, always ready.
This embroidered shoulder patch represents Patrol Squadron 40 (VP-40), the Fighting Marlins, and their P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft.

The P-8A Poseidon is the Navy's premier maritime patrol platform, and VP-40's Marlins operate it from forward-deployed locations, hunting submarines and monitoring surface activity across vast ocean areas.
Perfect For: VP-40 Fighting Marlins aircrew, P-8A Poseidon fans, maritime patrol shoulder patch collectors, and Navy ASW aviation enthusiasts.

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.
