Officially Licensed US Navy Carrier Strike Group 11 Patch - Carrier Strike Group 11 (CSG-11), the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group, officially licensed embroidered patch.
Combat Proven at sea, from the Persian Gulf to the Western Pacific, CSG-11 carries the full weight of American naval power projection wherever the mission demands.
Carrier Strike Group 11 was formally established on 1 October 2004 when Cruiser Destroyer Group 5 was redesignated under the Navy's Expeditionary Strike Force framework, bringing together a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, an embarked carrier air wing, guided-missile cruisers, destroyers, and logistics support into one integrated fighting force. The group's flagship is USS Nimitz (CVN-68), the lead ship of her class and one of the most recognized warships in the world. CSG-11 is assigned to U.S. Third Fleet and includes the squadrons of Carrier Air Wing 17 and ships from Destroyer Squadron 9, with more than 5,500 Sailors across its assigned ships and units. The group has deployed repeatedly to the U.S. Fifth Fleet in the Persian Gulf and North Arabian Sea, as well as to the U.S. Seventh Fleet in the Western Pacific, conducting air strikes, anti-submarine warfare, maritime security operations, and humanitarian assistance missions. Its motto, Combat Proven, reflects a deployment record that spans Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and sustained forward presence across the Indo-Pacific. This officially licensed embroidered patch captures the CSG-11 crest with the detail and authority that collectors, veterans, and Navy families expect from a piece tied to one of the fleet's most storied strike groups.
Perfect For: U.S. Navy veterans, USS Nimitz crew members and alumni, Carrier Air Wing 17 and DESRON 9 sailors, Navy collectors building Pacific Fleet or carrier strike group displays, shadow box builders, reunion gifts, cruise book keepsakes, and family members who want a respectful tribute to the sailors who keep CSG-11 ready to respond, compete, and win across the full spectrum of maritime operations.
Combat Proven heritage, stitched into every thread of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group crest.
