The Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 5 "Nightdippers" is one of the U.S. Navy's premier expeditionary helicopter squadrons, operating the MH-60S Seahawk in support of aircraft carriers, amphibious forces, and fleet operations around the world. Homeported at Naval Air Station North Island, California, HSC-5 is assigned to Carrier Air Wing Five (CVW-5) and regularly deploys in support of the U.S. Navy's forward-deployed forces in the Indo-Pacific region.
Known for their professionalism, adaptability, and mission readiness, the Nightdippers perform a wide range of missions, including combat logistics, search and rescue, combat search and rescue (CSAR), vertical replenishment (VERTREP), personnel recovery, medical evacuation, maritime security, and naval special warfare support. Whether operating from an aircraft carrier, amphibious assault ship, or expeditionary location, HSC-5 plays a vital role in keeping the fleet mission ready.
Lucky Shot Tees proudly creates custom apparel inspired by the history, mission, and traditions of the Nightdippers. From deployment shirts and command apparel to squadron reunions and family events, every design is created to honor the Sailors who proudly serve with HSC-5.

Every deployment creates memories that deserve to be remembered. Long hours on the flight deck, demanding missions, late-night launches, and friendships built through shared experiences all become part of your squadron's story.
At Lucky Shot Tees, every HSC-5 design is created from scratch. We don't use generic military artwork or recycled templates. Instead, we work with your squadron to create original designs inspired by the MH-60S Seahawk, aircraft carrier operations, rescue hoists, vertical replenishment missions, deployment ports, command mottos, squadron insignia, callsigns, cruise dates, qualification milestones, and the traditions that make the Nightdippers unique.
Whether you're looking for a clean heritage design or an aggressive deployment graphic, we'll create artwork your squadron will proudly wear for years to come.
