Official USS Gerald R Ford "We Put Up" Patch — You Shut Up
We put up. You shut up. That's the whole brief.
USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is the world's largest aircraft carrier and the first of a new class of nuclear-powered supercarriers — the most advanced warship ever constructed. Commissioned in July 2017, the Ford introduced revolutionary technologies including the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), which replaced steam catapults, and Advanced Arresting Gear, allowing 25% more aircraft launches per day than the Nimitz class with 25% fewer crew. The Ford departed Norfolk on her first deployment in May 2023, operating in the 6th Fleet AOR including stops in Norway, Croatia, and Italy before being extended to the Eastern Mediterranean in response to the October 2023 crisis. This "We Put Up, You Shut Up" morale patch captures the attitude of the 4,500+ sailors who keep the world's most powerful warship operational — a crew that doesn't just talk about capability, they deliver it, 24/7, from the flight deck of a 100,000-ton floating city.
Perfect For: USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) crew and plankowners, Ford-class carrier sailors, carrier strike group personnel, Naval Station Norfolk community, and anyone who believes actions speak louder than words.
CVN-78 — we put up, you shut up.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
