Officially Licensed USS Wasp CV-7 Patch — Sacrifice at Guadalcanal
CV-7 gave her life protecting the Marines on Guadalcanal — torpedoed and sunk, but never forgotten.
USS Wasp (CV-7) was a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier commissioned in 1940 and sunk by Japanese submarine torpedoes on September 15, 1942, while escorting reinforcements to Guadalcanal. CV-7 was the only ship of her class, designed to fit within Washington Naval Treaty tonnage limits. Despite her smaller size compared to the Yorktown and Lexington classes, Wasp served with distinction in the Atlantic, delivering British Spitfires to the besieged island of Malta, before transferring to the Pacific. Her loss at Guadalcanal was a blow to the thin American carrier force, but her sacrifice helped ensure that the Marines ashore received the reinforcements they desperately needed.
Perfect For: USS Wasp CV-7 history enthusiasts, WWII carrier historians, Guadalcanal campaign students, naval sacrifice commemorators, and wartime carrier patch collectors.
CV-7 gave everything at Guadalcanal.
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.
