The design incorporates the squadron's nickname, "Gunbearers," prominently displayed within the artwork or as a separate text element, reinforcing the squadron's identity. The color palette typically aligns with Navy colors, with blues, whites, and gold often used.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design's primary focus is on honoring HC-11's legacy of support. The helicopter imagery represents the squadron's essential role in VERTREP, SAR, and logistical operations. The "Gunbearers" nickname signifies the squadron's dedication to carrying and delivering crucial supplies and aid to the fleet, acting as the logistical backbone for carrier strike groups. The overall design serves as a tribute to the dedicated men and women who served in HC-11 and their commitment to naval aviation and service.
