Product Description

Officially Licensed HSC-28 Dragon Whales Leather Patch — Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 28 Dragon Whales MH-60S Seahawk Leather Patch

The Dragon Whales in leather — HSC-28's unique squadron identity in premium leather, representing one of the Navy's most distinctively named helicopter squadrons.

Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 28 (HSC-28), the "Dragon Whales," is a U.S. Navy helicopter squadron based at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, operating the MH-60S Seahawk. The "Dragon Whales" name is one of the most creative and memorable in naval aviation — combining the mythical power of a dragon with the oceanic might of a whale to create an identity that's both fierce and uniquely naval.

HSC-28 conducts a wide range of missions including vertical replenishment (VERTREP), combat search and rescue (CSAR), special warfare support, anti-surface warfare (ASUW), and humanitarian assistance/disaster relief. The MH-60S Seahawk is the Navy's versatile utility helicopter, capable of carrying cargo, personnel, and weapons in support of carrier strike group and expeditionary operations. HSC-28's crews operate from aircraft carriers, amphibious ships, and shore bases worldwide.

This leather patch presents the Dragon Whales' squadron design in a premium leather format that offers a distinctive tactile quality and classic appearance. The natural leather material is both durable and attractive, developing a unique patina with wear.

Perfect For: HSC-28 Dragon Whales members and veterans, MH-60S Seahawk community, Naval Station Norfolk personnel, Navy helicopter community, and leather military patch collectors.

HSC-28 Dragon Whales — half dragon, half whale, all leather — the Dragon Whales surface in premium style.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
