Product Description

Officially Licensed US Navy USS Cleveland LCS-31 Patch - USS Cleveland (LCS-31), the 16th and final Freedom-variant Littoral Combat Ship, officially licensed embroidered patch.

Forge a Legacy — the motto of the Navy's last Freedom-class warship, built in Wisconsin, commissioned in Ohio, and homeported in Mayport, Florida.

USS Cleveland (LCS-31) was commissioned on May 16, 2026, in a ceremony held in her namesake city of Cleveland, Ohio — the first Navy warship commissioning ever held in Ohio in the nation's 250-year history. Built by Lockheed Martin and Fincantieri Marinette Marine, she is the fourth U.S. Navy ship to carry the Cleveland name. The lineage runs from a World War I cruiser commissioned in 1903, through USS Cleveland (CL-55), a light cruiser that earned 13 battle stars across the Pacific in World War II, to USS Cleveland (LPD-7), an amphibious transport dock that served from 1967 to 2011 through Vietnam, Desert Storm, and humanitarian operations. LCS-31 closes that chapter as the final Freedom-variant hull, her crest bearing an anvil and sixteen rays of sun to honor the city's steel heritage and her place as the sixteenth ship of the class. Fast, agile, and mission-focused, she is designed to operate in near-shore environments and integrates with joint and unmanned teams to support forward presence, maritime security, sea control, and deterrence around the globe. This officially licensed embroidered patch captures that identity with the detail and durability collectors and crew members expect from a purpose-built naval insignia piece.

Perfect For: USS Cleveland (LCS-31) crew members and veterans, Freedom-class LCS collectors, Naval Station Mayport alumni, littoral combat ship enthusiasts, Navy surface warfare historians, shadow box and display board builders, commissioning ceremony keepsakes, reunion gifts, and anyone preserving the story of a ship that closed a two-decade shipbuilding program while opening its own first chapter of fleet service.

Cleveland steel, Navy blue, and a legacy stitched to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
