Machinery Repairman (MR) Navy Rate Patch 1st-3rd Class

This is the appropriate rating patch for US Navy personnel with the rating of Machinery Repairman MR1, MR2, or MR3. Navy rates are only sold as first class rates and can be cut to second or third class.

Machinery Repairmen (MR) are skilled machine tool operators. They make replacement parts and repair or overhaul a ship's engine auxiliary equipment, such as evaporators, air compressors and pumps. They repair deck equipment, including winches, hoists, condensers, and heat exchange devices. Shipboard Machinery Repairmen frequently operate main propulsion machinery, besides performing machine shop and repair duties.

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.
