The “Blue Blasters” received their first A-6E Intruders in April 1970. They were transitioned to the F/A-18C Hornet in late 1996 after return from their Med cruise aboard the USS Washington in CVW-17 but are currently flying the F/A-18E Hornet out of NAS Oceana, VA. This is the color version of their shoulder “Bullet” patch and does not come with velcro attached.
