Official VUQ-11 Manta Wraiths Halloween Patch - Unmanned Carrier-Launched Multi-Role Squadron 11 (VUQ-11) Boeing MQ-25A Stingray Halloween Morale Embroidered Patch.
Manta Wraiths energy, carrier-deck unmanned aviation identity, and a Halloween edge that sets this patch apart from every standard squadron piece in the collection.
VUQ-11, the Manta Wraiths, was established on April 1, 2026, with its command ceremony held at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, and is slated to be permanently based at Naval Air Station Point Mugu, California. The squadron is one of two planned operational Unmanned Carrier-Launched Multi-Role Squadrons tasked with deploying Boeing MQ-25A Stingray air vehicle systems aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, operating under the administrative control of the Airborne Command and Control Logistics Wing. The MQ-25A Stingray is the Navy's first carrier-based unmanned aerial refueling aircraft, designed to free F/A-18 Super Hornets from the tanking mission and extend the carrier air wing's strike reach. VUQ-11 will deploy combat-ready detachments, each operating five Stingrays, increasing persistence, battlespace awareness, and lethality for the Carrier Air Wing wherever the mission demands. The Halloween variant of the Manta Wraiths patch takes that cutting-edge unmanned identity and wraps it in the seasonal morale tradition that naval aviation communities have embraced for decades, making it a standout piece for anyone tracking the dawn of carrier-based drone operations. The embroidered construction gives the design the durability and stitch quality expected of officially licensed naval aviation insignia, suitable for flight suits, gear panels, shadow boxes, and display boards alike.
Perfect For: VUQ-11 Manta Wraiths personnel and alumni, MQ-25A Stingray operators and maintainers, carrier air wing collectors, unmanned aviation enthusiasts, naval aviation morale patch collectors, Halloween patch board builders, NAS Point Mugu community members, Airborne Command and Control Logistics Wing supporters, shadow box and cruise display builders, and anyone who wants a historically significant piece marking the very first operational carrier-based unmanned refueling squadron in U.S. Navy history.
Manta Wraiths, stitched for the flight deck, the patch board, and the future of carrier aviation.
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.
