Description

Officially Licensed US Navy HC-11 Gunbearers Squadron Patch — Helicopter Combat Support Heritage

The Gunbearers of HC-11 provided vertical replenishment and combat support from fleet helicopter decks.

This embroidered squadron patch represents Helicopter Combat Support Squadron 11 (HC-11), the Gunbearers. HC-11 operated in the helicopter combat support role, providing vertical replenishment (VERTREP), search and rescue, and logistics support for the fleet. The Gunbearers’ mission was essential to keeping ships at sea supplied and operational, transferring cargo between ships using heavy-lift helicopters. HC-11’s legacy represents the unglamorous but vital helicopter support mission that keeps the Navy’s surface fleet functioning during extended deployments.

Perfect For: HC-11 Gunbearers veterans, Navy helicopter combat support fans, VERTREP heritage enthusiasts, and USN squadron patch collectors.
