This is a specific logo for a specific unit at that Team. They’ve used that patch since 1981. A west coast SEAL platoon used a different version of the patch with crossed swords.

They won’t change that patch because it’s basically a religious symbol for those guys.

That emblem reminds me somewhat of the patch of VF-103 "Jolly Rogers".

Yes, it’s the same patch.

Yeah, no doubt. I guess my point was that like a lot of 'quasi-official' patches in the Navy, they may wear it, but they don't own it, and you see it get cross-pollinated.

It looked pretty sharp on the tails of F-14's:

BUIS is kinda pointless
And a 6 o clock light always made more sense to me than an offset 1 or 11 o clock mount

Also, 95% of what these guys do is at night with nvgs and lasers.
Most likely, these are just training guns and not what they use on real operations anyway.
