The squadron's core mission is to man, train, and equip air vehicle pilots and maintainers to operate the Stingray in the fleet. The MQ-25's primary role is aerial refueling, extending the carrier air wing's strike range and freeing F\/A-18E\/F Super Hornets to carry ordnance instead of fuel tanks — a direct increase in carrier strike group lethality. The Come And Tank It motto riffs on the ancient Spartan defiance phrase, reframed around the Stingray's tanking mission and the Pathfinders' position at the leading edge of unmanned carrier aviation. As a multi-role platform, the MQ-25 is also designed to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, pointing toward a broader shift in how the Navy will fight from the flight deck. This vinyl sticker captures that identity in a format built for gear bags, laptops, flight cases, lockers, and display boards, with UV-resistant material that holds color through field use and daily carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: VUQ-10 Pathfinders personnel, MQ-25 Stingray air vehicle pilots and maintainers, unmanned aviation enthusiasts, carrier air wing collectors, Naval Air Station Patuxent River alumni, Navy aviation historians, morale gear builders, and anyone who wants to mark the moment unmanned systems joined the carrier flight deck. It also works as a gift for family members, supporters, and collectors tracking the evolution of Navy carrier aviation from legacy strike fighters toward the air wing of the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePathfinder-made, tanker-proud, and built for the board, the bag, and the bold edge of carrier aviation history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45522795888749,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/3Patch_24_b1ade75f-0a95-4d11-9457-2ed3d9072bb1.png?v=1785351746","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-vuq-10-come-and-tank-it-sticker","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
