There are supposedly two Seal Team reserve units which are ST-17 and ST-18.  I have yet to come across a Seal Team 17 patch.

NAVAL AIR STATION WASHINGTON (ANACOSTIA to ANDREWS)

NARTU WASHINGTON (NAVAL AIR RESERVE TRAINING UNIT ANDREWS)

Due to Anacostia's short runways, the Naval Air Station moved to Andrews Air Force Base in 1958 to facilitate jet operations. The transfer to Andrews AFB was complete by December 1961, concurrent with the commissioning of the new Naval Air Facility.

 

In April 1972, NARTU Washington became Naval Air Reserve Unit Washington with the primary mission of training Selected Reservists. NARU included VFP-206, VFP-306, VR-42 and 20 other tactical and non-tactical units. Since 1976, the logistics support mission of NAF Washington has included administrative transport flight operations and transient service support to arriving aircraft.

Attack Squadron 203 (VA-203), nicknamed the Blue Dolphins, was established at NAS Jacksonville, Florida on 1 July 1970, as a reserve force squadron (RESFORON) under a new concept in the reorganization of the Naval Air Reserve Force. The reorganization was intended to make the reserves more compatible with active duty units and to increase their combat readiness.  It was redesignated VFA-203 in 1989.

This is may or may not be an original Seal Team 17 reserve unit patch.   The vendor selling these patches had other designs for different naval units all made with this type of silver grayish embroidery.  It could be a fantasy patch.

After getting off active duty after my first enlistment I went into the Naval Reserve and managed to get a retirement. First unit was SIMA 520 at Alameda Naval Air at the sail loft. A boring job made 50 FT boat covers and 2000 lube oil bags for the USS Enterprise and flight deck nets with WW2 era singer sowing machines. If Special Boat Unit XI did not grab me from that unit, I might have not finished my 20 years. Sima Alameda the only patch I can't find. Reserve units I was with. Sima 520, SBU XI, Cargo Battalion 3, MIUW 103. Patches I have. Funny every ship I served on when on active duty now razor blades, and every reserve command has been decommissioned makes you feel very old.
