USS Kitty Hawk CV-63 Patch — Aircraft Carrier USS Kitty Hawk Embroidered Patch
The Kitty Hawk — America's last conventionally powered supercarrier.
USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was the lead ship of her class and the last conventionally powered aircraft carrier built for the United States Navy. Commissioned on April 29, 1961, Kitty Hawk served for nearly 48 years — one of the longest service lives of any aircraft carrier in history. The ship deployed to Vietnam, where her air wing flew thousands of combat sorties over North and South Vietnam, and continued to serve through the Cold War, Desert Storm, and the Global War on Terror before being decommissioned in 2009.
Kitty Hawk spent her final years as the Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, homeported at Yokosuka, Japan, from 1998 until her replacement by USS George Washington in 2008. From Yokosuka, Kitty Hawk and her embarked carrier air wing provided the rapid-response strike capability that underpinned American security commitments in the Western Pacific. The ship's crew of over 5,000 sailors and her air wing of approximately 80 aircraft made Kitty Hawk one of the most powerful conventional warships ever built. CV-63's legacy spans nearly five decades of projecting American power from the sea.
Perfect For:
USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) crew members and veterans, carrier aviation personnel, Yokosuka-based sailors, Vietnam War carrier veterans, and US Navy ship patch collectors.
Kitty Hawk. CV-63. America's last conventional supercarrier.
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.
