The Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 9 "Tridents" is one of the U.S. Navy's premier helicopter squadrons, operating the MH-60S Seahawk in support of carrier strike group operations around the world. Homeported at Naval Air Station North Island, California, HSC-9 is assigned to Carrier Air Wing Eight (CVW-8) and provides critical aviation support for the U.S. Navy's global maritime mission.
From combat logistics and vertical replenishment (VERTREP) to search and rescue (SAR), combat search and rescue (CSAR), medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), personnel recovery, maritime security, and Naval Special Warfare support, the Tridents perform some of the Navy's most diverse and demanding helicopter missions. Whether operating from an aircraft carrier or supporting joint operations ashore, HSC-9 delivers the flexibility, professionalism, and readiness that modern naval aviation demands.
Lucky Shot Tees proudly designs custom apparel that celebrates the mission, heritage, and camaraderie of the Tridents. Whether you're an active-duty Sailor, veteran, family member, or squadron alumnus, we create custom apparel that honors your service and preserves the memories built throughout your time with HSC-9.
