Officially Licensed US Navy HSM-35 Magicians chest patch and name tags.
Magicians on the chest — manned and unmanned out of North Island.
Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 35 (HSM-35), the "Magicians," is a U.S. Navy MH-60R Seahawk and MQ-8B Fire Scout composite expeditionary squadron based at Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, California, with the tail code TG. HSM-35 was established on May 2, 2013 at NAS North Island as the Navy's first composite expeditionary helicopter squadron — designed from the ground up to operate the manned MH-60R and the unmanned MQ-8B Fire Scout side-by-side from littoral combat ships and other Pacific Fleet warships. The Magicians' lineage traces directly back to Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 35 (HSL-35), which was commissioned in 1974 also at North Island and disestablished in 1992 — the original West Coast LAMPS detachment squadron whose heritage was carried forward when HSM-35 was reactivated. Today the squadron operates approximately nine MH-60Rs and two MQ-8B Fire Scouts with more than 280 personnel, deploying detachments aboard RAST-capable frigates, destroyers, cruisers, aircraft carriers, and the LCS class to deliver anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, electronic warfare, command and control, search and rescue, and mobility operations for Pacific Fleet warships. The chest patch is the Magicians' calling card on the flight suit, with matching name tags to complete the squadron set — for every TG-tailed Sailor who flies, fixes, or fights from a Magicians cab.
Perfect For: HSM-35 Magicians active-duty and veteran personnel, MH-60R Seahawk pilots and aircrew, MQ-8B Fire Scout operators, NAS North Island Sailors, Pacific Fleet helicopter community members, HSL-35 plankowners, and Sailors building out the full Magicians flight suit set.
HSM-35 Magicians — manned, unmanned, and on the chest.
