Seagoing Marines Patch — Embroidered Patch
Marines at Sea — The Oldest Tradition in the Corps
Before Marines stormed beaches, they sailed aboard warships. The Seagoing Marine tradition stretches back to the very founding of the Corps in 1775, when Marines served as shipboard security, sharpshooters, and boarding parties aboard naval vessels. This patch represents the Marines who continue that tradition, serving aboard Navy ships as Marine Detachments.
Seagoing Marines serve aboard aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, cruisers, and other naval vessels, providing security for the ship and its crew, manning the brig, and maintaining a visible Marine presence in the fleet. The Marine Detachment — MarDet — tradition connects modern Marines to the earliest days of the Corps, when Continental Marines served aboard frigates during the American Revolution. Seagoing duty is a unique experience in the Marine Corps, offering Marines the chance to travel the world's oceans while maintaining the discipline and professionalism that the Navy expects from every Marine who sets foot on a ship's deck.
Perfect For:
Marines who served in Marine Detachments aboard Navy ships, seagoing Marines of all eras, naval history enthusiasts, Marines who appreciate the Corps' naval heritage, and anyone who has ever stood watch at sea in dress blues.
The oldest tradition in the Corps — Marines at sea.
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.
