Siamundo Posted October 9, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 9, 2022 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.

Salvage Sailor Posted October 9, 2022 Share #2 Posted October 9, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted October 10, 2022 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
