USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72 Patch — With Malice Toward None, With Firepower for All
CVN-72 carries the Great Emancipator's name and enough firepower to reshape the battlefield.
USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier commissioned in 1989, named after the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln made history as the first carrier to allow women to serve in combat roles and has deployed to virtually every theater of operations since her commissioning. CVN-72 launched the first strikes of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and famously served as the backdrop for the "Mission Accomplished" address. Homeported in San Diego, Lincoln continues to serve as one of the Navy's most capable and experienced carriers, projecting American power across the Pacific and beyond.
Perfect For: CVN-72 Lincoln crew members and veterans, carrier aviation enthusiasts, Pacific Fleet sailors, presidential ship-name collectors, and Navy patch fans.
