USS New Mexico BB-40 Patch — USS New Mexico (BB-40) New Mexico-class Battleship Embroidered Patch
USS New Mexico (BB-40) — the Queen of the Pacific, lead ship of her class and a veteran of some of the bloodiest amphibious operations of World War II.
USS New Mexico (BB-40) was the lead ship of the New Mexico-class battleships, commissioned in 1918 and serving through both world wars before decommissioning in 1946. Armed with twelve 14-inch/50-caliber guns in four triple turrets, New Mexico was one of the most powerful warships in the fleet during the interwar period and remained a formidable naval gunfire support platform throughout World War II.
USS New Mexico compiled an extraordinary combat record during World War II, providing naval gunfire support for amphibious landings across the Pacific. The battleship participated in operations at the Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, Saipan, Guam, Leyte Gulf, Lingayen Gulf, and Okinawa. At Lingayen Gulf in January 1945, New Mexico was struck by a kamikaze aircraft that killed her commanding officer, Captain Robert W. Fleming, and 29 crew members — yet the ship continued to fight, a testament to the toughness of American battleship construction and the courage of her crew.
New Mexico was struck by a second kamikaze off Okinawa in May 1945, again suffering casualties but continuing operations. The ship earned six battle stars for her World War II service and stands as an example of the endurance and fighting spirit that characterized the American battleship force.
Perfect For: USS New Mexico (BB-40) veterans and families, World War II battleship enthusiasts, Pacific War historians, U.S. Navy warship collectors, and WWII naval heritage patch collectors.
USS New Mexico BB-40 — Queen of the Pacific, hit by kamikazes and still fighting, six battle stars earned through blood and steel.
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.
