What is this Navy acronym

I picked up this little bag of US Navy Reserve Patrol Squadron patches up over the weekend, but I cannot figure out what CRPWL stands for. I found any number of mentions of the term in several US Navy website patches online, but none ever deciphered it. I am sure someone can help me out though.

COMRESPATWINGLANT i.e. Commander Reserve Patrol Wing Atlantic (Fleet), just like the triangle patch in the center.

They controlled all of the Reserve VP squadrons east of the Mississippi as shown on the patch.

 

It's NAVSPEAK, Clear as mud as are many USN acronyms

Oh my goodness, that is quite the abbreviation. Holy cow. I was guessing the RP letters signified Reserve Patrol but couldn't piece the rest of it together. Thank you kindly!

Well it's quite obvious when you mentioned it. 😁
