Officially Licensed US Navy USS Iwo Jima LHD-7 Patch — Amphibious Assault Ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) Embroidered Patch
USS Iwo Jima LHD-7 — carrying the legacy of the most iconic battle in Marine Corps history.
USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship named after the Battle of Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest and most famous battles in United States Marine Corps history. The ship carries one of the most revered names in the Navy, honoring the Marines who fought and died to capture the volcanic island of Iwo Jima in February-March 1945.
LHD-7 serves as the centerpiece of an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), carrying a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) of approximately 2,200 Marines with their aircraft, vehicles, and equipment. USS Iwo Jima operates a mix of MV-22B Ospreys, CH-53E Super Stallions, AH-1Z Vipers, UH-1Y Venoms, and AV-8B Harriers or F-35B Lightning IIs from her flight deck, providing the embarked Marines with the aviation support they need for ship-to-shore assault, close air support, and sustained operations ashore. The ship's name serves as a constant reminder of the sacrifice and valor that define the Marine Corps, and every sailor and Marine aboard carries that legacy with them on every deployment.
