USS John P. Murtha LPD-26 Patch — Amphibious Warrior in Embroidered Form
LPD-26 carries a Marine veteran-turned-congressman's name and the Marines he spent his life supporting.
USS John P. Murtha (LPD-26) is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock designed to embark Marines, their equipment, and landing craft for ship-to-shore movement during amphibious operations. This embroidered patch commemorates LPD-26's service. Named after Congressman John Murtha — a decorated Marine Corps Vietnam veteran and tireless advocate for the military in Congress — the ship carries his legacy of service into every deployment. San Antonio-class LPDs are the backbone of the Navy's amphibious fleet, combining troop berthing, vehicle storage, flight deck operations, and well deck capability in a single versatile platform.
Perfect For: USS Murtha LPD-26 crew members, amphibious warfare enthusiasts, San Antonio-class ship sailors, Marine-Navy team advocates, and Navy ship patch collectors.
Murtha — a Marine's name, an amphibious warrior's ship.
