Officially Licensed US Navy VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet Patch — Strike Fighter Squadron 25 F/A-18E Super Hornet Embroidered Patch

Fist of the Fleet — striking first, striking hard.

Strike Fighter Squadron 25 (VFA-25) “Fist of the Fleet” is a United States Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet squadron based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California. One of the Pacific Fleet’s premier strike fighter squadrons, VFA-25 carries one of the most aggressive and iconic callsigns in naval aviation — the Fist that strikes the first blow for the carrier strike group.

VFA-25’s lineage traces back to the early days of jet aviation in the Navy, and the squadron has participated in combat operations spanning multiple decades and conflicts. The “Fist of the Fleet” callsign reflects the squadron’s role as a leading-edge strike platform — when the carrier air wing goes to war, the Fist is at the front. Flying the single-seat F/A-18E Super Hornet, VFA-25 crews execute the full spectrum of strike fighter missions including air superiority, precision strike, close air support, and forward air control. The squadron deploys as part of a carrier air wing aboard Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, bringing lethal combat power to any theater on the globe within days.

This patch represents one of the Navy’s most combat-ready strike fighter squadrons.

Perfect For: VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet veterans, F/A-18E Super Hornet pilots, NAS Lemoore strike fighter community, and carrier air wing enthusiasts.
