The Rating That Keeps the Fleet Connected
Every ship depends on its systems — radar, communications, navigation, and combat electronics. And every one of those systems depends on the skill of an Electronics Technician.
Navy ETs are trained to diagnose, repair, and maintain complex electronic equipment in demanding environments. Whether underway in heavy seas or standing watch in port, their work ensures the ship remains operational and mission-capable.
It’s a rating built on precision, technical knowledge, and responsibility.
A Legacy of Technical Excellence
For decades, Electronics Technicians have served across the fleet — aboard destroyers, carriers, submarines, and shore installations. Their expertise bridges traditional seamanship with modern technology, making them essential to both daily operations and combat readiness.
ETs are often the quiet professionals behind the scenes — solving problems before most even know there was one.
The Meaning Behind the Design
This patch features bold “ET” lettering across a deep Navy blue field, immediately recognizable within the fleet. At the center sits the atomic symbol, representing the advanced electronics and technical mastery required of the rating.
Gold lettering and borders symbolize excellence and pride in service, while the red, white, and blue detail reinforces commitment to the United States Navy.
It’s a clean, strong design that speaks directly to those who wore the rate.
A Proud Tribute to Your Rating
Whether you served aboard ship or at a shore command, this Electronics Technician patch honors your contribution to keeping the fleet connected and operational.
Ideal for jackets, vests, display cases, or collections, it stands as a lasting reminder of your technical skill and service.
For every ET who stood the watch — this one’s yours.
