**Officially Licensed US Navy HSM-71 Raptors Squadron Leather Patch**
The Raptors hunt submarines, track surface contacts, and provide armed escort—all from the back of a destroyer in the middle of the Pacific. HSM-71 brings the fight to the maritime domain one Seahawk sortie at a time.
Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 71, the "Raptors," flies the MH-60R Seahawk from NAS North Island, California. Assigned to Carrier Air Wing 9, the Raptors provide anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and search and rescue capabilities to carrier strike groups deployed worldwide. The MH-60R is the Navy's primary maritime helicopter, equipped with advanced sonar, torpedoes, and Hellfire missiles.
