The first, a Cleveland-class light cruiser commissioned in December 1944, earned two battle stars in the Pacific during World War II before being converted into one of the Navy's first guided missile cruisers. Redesignated CLG-5, she became the first Pacific Fleet guided missile cruiser to successfully fire a Talos missile, and later served as flagship of the Seventh Fleet during the Vietnam War, conducting shore bombardment, carrier screening, and rescue operations across more than a decade of combat deployments. She also assisted with Vietnamese refugee evacuation after the fall of Saigon in 1975. The second Oklahoma City, SSN-723, was a Los Angeles-class nuclear attack submarine commissioned in 1988. Carrying the motto The Sooner, The Better, she supported anti-submarine warfare, strike missions, and intelligence operations, and was the first submarine to use Digital Nautical Charts. Together, these two ships represent a name that spans cruiser gunfire, guided missile innovation, Cold War deterrence, and fast-attack submarine operations across nearly eight decades of US naval service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: US Navy veterans, cruiser and submarine collectors, Seventh Fleet alumni, Vietnam War naval history enthusiasts, Oklahoma City civic pride displays, shadow boxes, military memorabilia boards, reunion keepsakes, and anyone who wants an officially licensed piece tied to one of the most operationally significant ship names in the modern Navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo ships, one name, and a legacy that runs from Pacific gunfire to nuclear fast-attack — preserved on officially licensed vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45758028939373,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/4Patch_20_97491579-7354-4783-bf66-1e515d90bd8b.png?v=1788284460","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/officially-licensed-us-navy-uss-oklahoma-city-ship-sticker","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
