Hull Maintenance Technician (HT) Navy Rate Patch 1st-3rd Class

This is the appropriate rating patch for US Navy personnel with the rating of Hull Maintenance Technician HT1, HT2, or HT3. Navy rates are only sold as first class rates and can be cut to second or third class.

Hull Maintenance Technicians (HT) plan, supervise, and perform tasks necessary for fabrication, installation and repair of all types of shipboard structures, plumbing, and piping systems; organize, supervise, and train personnel in maintenance and hull repair; supervise and perform tasks in procurement and issuance of supplies and repair parts; instruct personnel and enforce safety and security precautions; prepare records and reports.

The U.S. Navy Enlisted Left Sleeve Rating Patch is Swiss-Loomed on midnight navy-blue wool serge material. By tradition the Petty Officer 1st Class patch must be hemmed to the proper rank for Petty Officer 2nd Class and Petty Officer 3rd Class.
