Officially Licensed US Navy Officer Crest Shoulder Patch — United States Navy Officer Insignia Embroidered Patch
Anchors aweigh — the United States Navy officer crest.
The United States Navy officer crest is the official insignia worn by commissioned officers of the U.S. Navy, representing their authority and responsibility as leaders in the world's most powerful naval force. This embroidered shoulder patch reproduces the Navy officer crest in a format suitable for flight suits, jackets, and display, honoring the traditions of naval officership that date back to the founding of the Navy on October 13, 1775.
Navy officers serve in every warfare specialty from surface warfare and submarine operations to naval aviation, special warfare, and intelligence. The officer crest unifies all of these diverse communities under a single identity — the commissioned officer corps of the United States Navy. Whether commanding a destroyer, flying a Super Hornet, leading a SEAL platoon, or managing a shore installation, Navy officers wear this crest as a symbol of the trust and authority vested in them by the President of the United States and the American people. This patch is authorized under the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) licensing program.
Perfect For: Active-duty and retired Navy officers, Naval Academy graduates, Officer Candidate School alumni, Navy ROTC graduates, Navy officer families, and military insignia patch collectors who value the traditions of naval officership.
Anchors aweigh — Navy officers lead from the front.
