Officially Licensed VAQ-144 VA-196 Main Battery Throwback Patch — Electronic Attack Meets Attack Aviation Heritage
VAQ-144 reaches back to VA-196 roots with this Main Battery throwback — honoring the attack squadron lineage.
This embroidered throwback patch connects Electronic Attack Squadron 144 (VAQ-144), the Main Battery, with Attack Squadron 196 (VA-196), linking the squadron's current electronic warfare mission to its attack aviation heritage. VA-196 flew attack missions before the electronic warfare mission evolved, and this throwback patch bridges both identities under the Main Battery name. The throwback design pays homage to the squadron's earlier era while maintaining the VAQ-144 connection, creating a patch that spans generations of naval aviation.
Perfect For: VAQ-144 Main Battery personnel, VA-196 heritage fans, Navy squadron lineage enthusiasts, and throwback naval aviation patch collectors.
Main Battery throwback — from attack to electronic attack.
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.
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.
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.
