Aircraft carrier patches connect unit identity and a personal service or collecting interest. Explore the available designs to find the organization, aircraft, ship or remembered assignment that matters to your collection.
Aircraft carrier patches: design and selection
Browse carrier insignia by ship name, hull number and artwork. Ships can share a name across different hulls, making the number an important part of the design identity.
- Read the full unit, aircraft or ship designation.
- Compare listed dimensions, construction and backing.
- Review the photographs for the exact artwork and wording.
A collection can be organized around an assignment, a particular aircraft or ship, or a series of related unit emblems. Use the wording and artwork to build that connection deliberately. Similar nicknames, colors or silhouettes do not necessarily identify the same organization or period.
Heritage behind the collection
USS Langley, converted from the collier Jupiter, was recommissioned on 20 March 1922 as the first U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. Her experimental flight-deck operations helped establish practices used by the carriers that followed.

Compare the individual product details
Attachment options vary by product. A removable hook-and-loop version is different from a sew-on or iron-on patch, so use the individual listing rather than the category name to identify the backing. For a gift or display grouping, the precise unit and design often matter as much as the overall subject.
