USS Nathanael Greene SSBN-636 Patch — James Madison-Class Ballistic Missile Submarine Embroidered Patch
Silent guardian named for a Revolutionary hero.
USS Nathanael Greene (SSBN-636) was a James Madison-class fleet ballistic missile submarine named after Major General Nathanael Greene, one of George Washington's most trusted and capable generals during the American Revolutionary War. SSBN-636 served the United States Navy as a strategic nuclear deterrent platform throughout the Cold War, carrying submarine-launched ballistic missiles on extended patrols beneath the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
General Nathanael Greene was known as the "Strategist of the American Revolution" for his brilliant Southern Campaign that wore down the British Army and helped secure American independence. The submarine bearing his name carried forward that strategic legacy, conducting silent deterrent patrols that formed the most survivable component of America's nuclear triad. Armed with Polaris and later Poseidon ballistic missiles, SSBN-636 could remain submerged and undetected for months at a time, ready to unleash devastating nuclear strikes if the nation came under attack. The submarine's crew maintained this awesome responsibility with quiet professionalism, knowing that their silent service was the ultimate guarantor of peace.
This patch honors the crew of SSBN-636 and their contribution to Cold War deterrence.
Perfect For: SSBN-636 crew veterans, James Madison-class submarine enthusiasts, Cold War nuclear deterrent collectors, and Revolutionary War namesake submarine fans.
Silent strategist — SSBN-636.
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.
