USS Tarawa LHA-1 — Embroidered Patch
Eagle of the Sea
USS Tarawa (LHA-1) was the lead ship of the Tarawa-class amphibious assault ships — a new generation of "big deck" amphibs that combined helicopter operations with a well deck for landing craft. This patch represents the sailors and Marines who served aboard this revolutionary warship.
USS Tarawa (LHA-1) was commissioned in 1976 as the lead ship of a new class of general purpose amphibious assault ships. Named after the brutal Battle of Tarawa in World War II, the ship combined a full-length flight deck for helicopter operations with a well deck that could launch landing craft and amphibious vehicles. Tarawa deployed Marine Expeditionary Units worldwide and was decommissioned in 2009 after 33 years of service.
Perfect For:
USS Tarawa veterans, Tarawa-class LHA sailors, MEU Marines, and amphibious assault ship heritage collectors.

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.
