USS Tripoli LPH-10 — US Navy Embroidered Patch
Semper Princeps — Always First
USS Tripoli (LPH-10) carried the motto "Always First" and lived up to it across decades of amphibious operations. This officially licensed patch represents the sailors and Marines who served aboard this distinguished amphib.
USS Tripoli (LPH-10) was an Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ship commissioned in 1966. Named after the Battle of Derna (Tripoli) in the First Barbary War, the ship deployed Marine helicopter squadrons worldwide. During Operation Desert Storm, Tripoli struck an Iraqi mine in the Persian Gulf but continued operations. The ship was decommissioned in 1995.
Perfect For:
USS Tripoli veterans, amphibious assault ship sailors, Marine amphibious operations community, and Navy warship heritage collectors.
Semper Princeps — Always First.
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.
