Officially Licensed US Navy USS Decatur DDG-73 Sticker — Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyer Vinyl Sticker
Decatur's legacy lives on — DDG-73, named for America's first naval hero.
USS Decatur (DDG-73) is an Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA guided-missile destroyer of the United States Navy, named after Commodore Stephen Decatur Jr., one of the most celebrated naval officers in American history. Known for his daring raid to burn the captured frigate USS Philadelphia in Tripoli Harbor during the First Barbary War — an act Lord Horatio Nelson called "the most bold and daring act of the age" — Decatur embodied the fighting spirit that defines the U.S. Navy to this day. Commissioned on August 22, 1998, DDG-73 has served in multiple theaters of operation, conducting strike warfare, ballistic missile defense, surface warfare, and anti-submarine warfare missions across the Pacific and beyond. This vinyl sticker captures the ship's crest and honors every sailor who has served aboard Decatur.
Perfect For: USS Decatur sailors and veterans, DDG-73 crew members, Arleigh Burke-class destroyer enthusiasts, and Navy ship sticker collectors.
Decatur — boldness in the tradition of America's first naval hero.
