China Lake H-16 Patch — Test and Evaluation Heritage at the Weapons Station

China Lake H-16 represents the test and evaluation aircraft heritage at the Navy’s premier weapons laboratory.

This embroidered patch commemorates operations at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, the Navy’s desert weapons testing center in California. The H-16 designation connects to the aircraft and weapons testing heritage that defines China Lake’s mission. The station’s vast ranges have been used to test everything from F/A-18 Hornets to EA-18G Growlers and the weapons they carry. China Lake’s test pilots and engineers push aircraft and ordnance to their limits, ensuring that every weapon system delivered to the fleet performs as designed.

Perfect For: China Lake test and evaluation personnel, NAWS China Lake aircraft testers, weapons testing professionals, and Navy test facility embroidered patch collectors.
