Officially Licensed US Navy VFA-195 Dambusters Patch — Strike Fighter Squadron 195 Dambusters Embroidered Patch
The Dambusters — VFA-195, the Navy's forward-deployed strike fighter squadron in Japan, carrying the F/A-18 Hornet legacy from the Western Pacific to every hotspot in Asia.
Strike Fighter Squadron 195 (VFA-195), the "Dambusters," is one of the U.S. Navy's most storied fighter attack squadrons. Based in Japan as part of Carrier Air Wing Five (CVW-5), VFA-195 is permanently forward-deployed — the only carrier air wing based overseas, embarking aboard the carrier assigned to Commander, Carrier Strike Group 5. The Dambusters have operated the F/A-18 Hornet and later variants, providing the forward-deployed carrier strike group with multi-role strike fighter capability in the most strategically important theater in the world.
The Dambusters' name evokes the legendary World War II RAF squadron that breached Germany's Ruhr Valley dams with Barnes Wallis's bouncing bombs, and VFA-195 has lived up to that aggressive legacy throughout its own history. The squadron has deployed extensively across the Western Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Middle East, participating in combat operations from Vietnam through the Global War on Terror. As a permanently forward-deployed squadron, VFA-195's pilots and maintainers maintain an extraordinarily high state of readiness — they are always closest to the fight and always first to respond.
VFA-195's role in CVW-5 places them at the epicenter of great power competition in the Indo-Pacific, where the squadron's combat readiness serves as a visible deterrent and a guarantee of American commitment to the region.
Perfect For: VFA-195 Dambusters members and veterans, CVW-5 personnel, F/A-18 Hornet community members, Japan-based naval aviators, and Navy strike fighter heritage patch collectors.
VFA-195 Dambusters — forward-deployed, first to fight, always ready in the Western Pacific and beyond.
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.
