Officially Licensed USS America LHA-6 Patch — Amphibious Assault Ship Embroidered Patch
The newest America — projecting power from sea to shore.
USS America (LHA-6) is the lead ship of the America-class amphibious assault ships and one of the most capable warships in the United States Navy. Commissioned in 2014, LHA-6 represents a new era in amphibious warfare, designed from the keel up to support the F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter and the MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. USS America serves as the flagship for Marine Expeditionary Units and Amphibious Ready Groups, projecting American power ashore from anywhere in the world's oceans.
At over 844 feet in length and displacing more than 44,000 tons, USS America is larger than many nations' aircraft carriers. The ship features an enlarged flight deck and aviation maintenance facilities optimized for fifth-generation aviation operations, making it the centerpiece of the Navy-Marine Corps team's ability to conduct forcible entry, humanitarian assistance, and crisis response operations. USS America has deployed extensively to the Western Pacific and other theaters, demonstrating the unique flexibility of amphibious forces. The ship carries a complement of Marines, aircraft, and landing craft that can respond to any mission — from major combat operations to disaster relief.
This patch represents the cutting edge of amphibious warfare capability.
Perfect For: USS America (LHA-6) crew members and veterans, amphibious assault ship enthusiasts, Navy-Marine Corps team collectors, and modern warship historians.
America leads from the sea — LHA-6.
