This t-shirt design pays tribute to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 85, the "FIREHAWKS," a U.S. Navy squadron specializing in special operations support.
Artwork and Visual Elements

The squadron's nickname, "FIREHAWKS," is prominently displayed, often arching above the helicopter. The text is rendered in a bold, military-style font, conveying a sense of strength and purpose.
Incorporated into the design are elements representing the squadron’s diverse mission set. This may include imagery suggestive of search and rescue operations, such as a stylized life ring or rescue hoist. Subtle details, such as the squadron's designation, "HSC-85," may be incorporated, reinforcing the identity of the unit.
Meaning and Symbolism

The "FIREHAWKS" nickname evokes the squadron's bravery and their ability to operate in challenging conditions. The flames within the artwork, if included, may symbolize intensity, power, and the readiness to face any challenge.
