O Esquadrão Sete Um de Helicópteros Navais de Ataque (HMS-71) foi fundado em 4 de outubro de 2007, e rapidamente tornou-se o primeiro esquadrão HMS operacional da Marinha Americana. Os Raptors verdadeiramente personificaram a frase.
“O Primeiro e Melhor”
A criação deste esquadrão significou o começo de um novo capítulo na história militar da USN. Os Raptors receberam o novíssimo e mais tecnologicamente avançado helicóptero no arsenal da Marinha Americana, o MH-60 Romeu. Eles são o primeiro esquadrão a empregar esta plataforma aérea e a desenvolverem um novo grupo de combate.
Sobre a insígnia podemos dizer que foi desenvolvida para caracterizar os homens e mulheres que desejam tornarem-se conhecidos como Raptors.
Os Raptors ou aves de rapina são conhecidas por três características básicas:
Visão Perspicaz, incontestável maestria nos céus e por serem caçadores de proezas insuperáveis. Raptors exibem uma extraordinária variedade de técnicas de caça. Alguns voam alto enquanto vigiam suas presas no solo, outros são conhecidos por suas habilidades em manobras aéreas. E ainda outros, pairam quando caçam e então mergulham subitamente sobre seus alvos.
O nome e a figura de um Raptor representa a habilidade excepcional, e a capacidade letal de combate, que os helicópteros (HMS) trazem para a guerra naval.
De origem naval, o tridente é freqüentemente associado com Poseidon, o Deus do mar na Mitologia Grega. A insígnia combina a excepcional capacidade aérea e eficiência mortal do Raptor com uma implícita capacidade dos mares através do uso do tridente.
O fundo escuro representa capacidade operacional de sua tripulação e da aeronave em todas as condições de tempo, dia e noite. As duas estrelas pequenas na noite honram as gerações de helicópteros multi-missão que apoiaram a sociedade HSL no seu começo, principalmente o SH-2F e o SH-60B.
A terceira estrela significa a atual geração de tripulação e aeronave, as quais trazem a excelência e a letalidade para a nova sociedade HSM.
Só como um Raptor, que domina os céus em busca da presa, os homens e mulheres dos HSM voam assegurando o domínio naval. http://www.hsm71.navy.mil/index.htm
Raptors
Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron SEVEN ONE (HSM-71) was established on 4 Oct 2007 and is rapidly becoming the Navy's premier operational HSM squadron. The Raptors truly embody the phrase.
“First and Finest”
This establishment signifies the beginning of a new chapter in military history. The Raptors have been given the newest most technologically advanced helicopter in the United States Navy's inventory, the MH-60 Romeo. They are the first squadron to employ this new airframe and begin a new community.
The above insignia was developed to characterize the men and women who will become known as Raptors. Raptors or birds of prey are known by three primary characteristics; keen eyesight, undisputed mastery of the skies and unrivaled hunting prowess. Raptors exhibit an extraordinary variety of hunting techniques. Some raptors soar as they watch for prey on the ground. Others are known for their skillful aerial maneuvering resulting in prey being snatched unaware. And still others, hover when hunting, and then dive steeply down on their targets. The name and image of a Raptor represent the exceptional skill, and lethal combat capabilities the Helicopter Maritime Strike (HSM) community brings to naval warfare. From nautical origins, the trident is often associated with Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology. The insignia combines the exceptional aerial skills and deadly combat efficiency of the raptor with an implied mastery of the sea through the use of a trident. The black background represents the all weather, day and night capabilities of our aircrew and aircraft. The two stars smaller stars in the night sky honor the generations of multi-mission helicopters that have supported the HSL community since its inception, principally the SH-2F and SH-60B. The third and brightest star signifies the current generation of crew and aircraft, which brings the greatest capability and lethality to the new HSM community. Just as a raptor plies the skies in search of prey, the men and women of the HSM community fly the skies ensuring naval dominance. http://www.hsm71.navy.mil/index.htm
