Size: 4"In Stock: >5 HSL-37 was established on 3 July, 1975 aboard Naval Air Station, Barbers Point, Hawaii, as the third operational Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) squadron in the Pacific Fleet. On 6 February 1992, HSL-37 became the first and only US Navy helicopter squadron to transition from the SH-2F "Seasprite" LAMPS MK I to the SH-60B "Seahawk" LAMPS MK III. HSL-37 operated as a composite LAMPS MK I/MK III squadron until 1 October 1993, at which time it completed the transition to the SH-60B. The mission of the "EASYRIDERS" is to provide highly trained, combat-ready LAMPS detachments to the ships of the Pacific Fleet Surface Force. This patch was created for their detachment to Hawaii on DDG-90. They were renamed to HSM from HSL.
