Officially Licensed US Navy HSC-8 Eightballers Sticker — Multi-Mission Seahawks From North Island
The Eightballers fly whatever mission the carrier strike group needs — logistics, rescue, strike, or mine warfare.
Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 8 (HSC-8) — the 'Eightballers' — flies the MH-60S Seahawk multi-mission helicopter out of Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, California, as part of Carrier Air Wing 9 aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). The Eightballers conduct the full range of sea combat helicopter missions — vertical replenishment to keep the strike group supplied at sea, combat search and rescue to recover downed aircrew, special operations support, anti-surface warfare with crew-served weapons and Hellfire missiles, mine countermeasures with the Airborne Mine Neutralization System, and humanitarian assistance during disaster relief operations. The MH-60S is the Navy's most versatile rotary-wing platform, and HSC squadrons like the Eightballers are the Swiss Army knife of the carrier air wing — capable of shifting from logistics to combat to rescue in a single sortie. The Eightballers have deployed throughout the Pacific, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific, supporting every major carrier deployment cycle and responding to contingencies from typhoon relief to combat operations. This sticker captures the Eightballers' identity as one of the Navy's most capable and flexible helicopter squadrons.
Perfect For: HSC-8 Eightballers aircrew and maintainers, MH-60S Seahawk community members, CVW-9 and NAS North Island personnel, USS Abraham Lincoln Sailors, and anyone who serves in the helicopter sea combat community.
