Description
Officially Licensed US Navy HS-17 Neptune’s Raiders Patch — Sea King Marauders
Neptune’s Raiders of HS-17 raided the ocean’s depths for submarine contacts with relentless determination.
Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 17 (HS-17), Neptune’s Raiders, was a U.S. Navy helicopter squadron that operated the H-3 Sea King. Neptune’s Raiders conducted anti-submarine warfare, combat search and rescue, and utility operations as part of carrier air wings and shore-based helicopter detachments. The raider identity reflected the squadron’s aggressive approach to the ASW mission — actively hunting and attacking submarine contacts rather than passively waiting for threats to appear. HS-17’s crews embodied the offensive spirit that defined the Navy’s Cold War approach to undersea warfare.
Perfect For: HS-17 Neptune’s Raiders veterans, H-3 Sea King ASW crews, offensive ASW tacticians, and Navy helicopter heritage patch collectors.
Neptune’s Raiders — they didn’t wait for submarines to come to them.
