US Navy USS America LHA-6 Throwback Shoulder Patch — Embroidered Patch
Ready for War or Peace — USS America (LHA-6)
This throwback shoulder patch pays tribute to USS America — the lead ship of her class and one of the most capable amphibious assault ships ever built. "Bello vel pace paratus" — Ready for War or Peace — that's the motto, and that's exactly what America delivers.
USS America (LHA-6) is an America-class amphibious assault ship commissioned on 11 October 2014 in San Francisco — the fourth US Navy warship to bear the name. At 844 feet and displacing nearly 45,000 tons, America is designed as an aviation-centric amphibious platform, optimized for the F-35B Lightning II, MV-22B Osprey, CH-53K King Stallion, and the full complement of Marine rotary-wing aircraft. The ship can carry over 1,600 Marines and serves as a self-contained, mobile crisis response force capable of everything from combat operations to humanitarian aid. America has deployed extensively across the Western Pacific and Indo-Pacific region, participating in exercises from Talisman Sabre to bilateral operations with allied navies. This throwback shoulder patch captures the ship's heritage in the classic style that crews have worn with pride since commissioning.
Perfect For:
USS America crew members past and present, Navy amphibious warfare personnel, Marines who deployed aboard LHA-6, F-35B and MV-22 aviation enthusiasts, ship patch collectors, and anyone who served aboard the big deck.
Ready for War or Peace — USS America, LHA-6.
