The squadron made history in 1992 as the first U.S. Navy unit to transition from the SH-2F Seasprite to the SH-60B Seahawk, and it moved to Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Kaneohe Bay in 1999. Redesignated HSM-37 in October 2013, the Easy Riders completed a full transition to the MH-60R Seahawk and today operate fifteen of those aircraft, making them the largest expeditionary helicopter squadron in the Navy. The squadron provides dedicated helicopter resources for all Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and Ticonderoga-class cruisers homeported at Pearl Harbor, covering anti-submarine warfare, surface surveillance, search and rescue, and strike support across the Indo-Pacific. The PVC format gives the Easy Riders insignia sharp color definition and weather-resistant durability, making it a strong fit for flight-line gear, tactical bags, patch panels, and shadow box displays that need a piece built to last as long as the story behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: HSM-37 veterans and active-duty aircrew, MH-60R Seahawk enthusiasts, Pearl Harbor and Marine Corps Base Hawaii alumni, Navy helicopter collectors, Pacific Fleet supporters, deployment keepsake displays, challenge coin and patch boards, shadow boxes, reunion gifts, and anyone building a unit-history collection around Indo-Pacific maritime strike and expeditionary rotary-wing aviation. It is equally meaningful for families and maintainers who want a clean, officially licensed tribute to the crews and detachments that keep Pearl Harbor surface combatants ready for sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy Riders heritage, officially licensed and molded for the board, the bag, and the shadow box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45457563156589,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/4Patch_39_8a1682a4-e35b-4efe-b1c4-a0e0e7281822.png?v=1784052032","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/officially-licensed-us-navy-hsm-37-easy-riders-pvc-patch","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
