Official VUQ-11 Mana Wraiths MQ-25 Stingray shoulder patch.
Pacific tanker, Hawaiian heritage — the second carrier UAV squadron, Pathfinders' wingman.
VUQ-11, the "Mana Wraiths," is the U.S. Navy's planned second Unmanned Carrier-Launched Multi-Role Squadron — the follow-on to VUQ-10 "Pathfinders" and the next operational MQ-25 Stingray squadron in the Navy's stand-up of carrier-based unmanned aviation. The Mana Wraiths' name draws from the Hawaiian "mana" — spiritual power, presence, the unseen force that drives action — fitting for an unmanned squadron whose Stingrays will fly long hours over the Pacific extending the strike range of Pacific Fleet carrier air wings. The MQ-25 Stingray's primary mission is mission tanking — passing fuel to F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, F-35Cs, and E-2Ds in flight to give the carrier air wing strike profiles that simply weren't possible with the Super Hornet tanker — with secondary roles in recovery tanking and ISR for the Carrier Strike Group. By moving tanker duties from manned platforms to the unmanned Stingray, every CVW frees up Super Hornet ordnance capacity and gains real reach. VUQ-10 was established October 1, 2022 at NAS Patuxent River as the Fleet Replacement Squadron writing the operational and maintenance procedures alongside VX-23, UX-24, and VX-1 — and VUQ-11 and VUQ-12 follow as the operational fleet squadrons that carry the Stingray to the boat. This shoulder patch is for the Mana Wraiths plankowners and the future operators who will fly the Pacific tanker mission for the Strike Group of tomorrow.
Perfect For: VUQ-11 Mana Wraiths plankowners and future operators, MQ-25 Stingray air vehicle operators and maintainers, Pacific Fleet carrier air wing personnel, Hawaiian-heritage naval aviation enthusiasts, NAS Patuxent River and NBVC Point Mugu test community members, and naval aviation unmanned systems collectors.
Mana Wraiths — Pacific tanker, unmanned, ready to launch.
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.
