Officially Licensed US Navy HSM-37 Easy Riders Squadron Patch
Officially Licensed US Navy HSM-37 Easy Riders Squadron Patch - Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron Three Seven (HSM-37) Easyriders, MH-60R Seahawk, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, officially licensed embroidered patch.Easyriders identity, Pacific Fleet reach, and fifty years of shipboard helicopter heritage stitched into one officially licensed emblem.HSM-37 was established on 3 July 1975 at Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii, as Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light Three Seven, making it one of the Navy's longest-serving rotary-wing squadrons. The squadron made history in 1992 as the first U.S. Navy unit to transition from the SH-2F Seasprite to the SH-60B Seahawk, and it moved to Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Kaneohe Bay in February 1999. Redesignated HSM-37 on 1 October 2013, the Easyriders completed a full transition to the MH-60R Seahawk and today stand as the largest expeditionary helicopter squadron in the U.S. Navy. The squadron provides MH-60R detachments for all Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and Ticonderoga-class cruisers homeported at Pearl Harbor, executing anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, search and rescue, and vertical replenishment missions across the Indo-Pacific. That operational depth, combined with a half-century of continuous service, gives this officially licensed embroidered patch a lineage that goes well beyond a standard squadron souvenir. The embroidered format captures the Easyriders insignia with the thread detail and color fidelity that collectors and veterans expect from a piece built to last on a display board, shadow box, flight jacket, or gear bag.Perfect For: HSM-37 veterans and active-duty sailors, MH-60R Seahawk aircrew and maintainers, Pearl Harbor and Marine Corps Base Hawaii alumni, Navy helicopter collectors, detachment crew members, deployment keepsakes, challenge coin and patch display boards, shadow boxes, reunion gifts, and anyone building a Pacific Fleet or Indo-Pacific naval aviation collection. It is also a meaningful tribute for families and supporters who want a clean, officially licensed piece tied to the Easyriders' long record of shipboard readiness, maritime strike capability, and sustained forward presence across the Pacific region.Easyriders heritage, officially licensed and stitched for the board, the box, and the sailors who rode the mission forward.
