What is printed on it
The submarine dominates the center of the design, captured mid-surface with hull details sharp and accurate. Water churns around it in layers of white foam and dark ocean, giving the moment real weight and drama. Above the boat, the American flag streams in bold red and white, painted with dynamic brushstrokes that pull the eye and embody motion. The lettering at the top reads "USS NATHAN HALE = SSBN 623 =" in a distressed, military-grade font that has the worn look of submarine service itself. At the bottom, the words "Been There - Done That and Damn Proud of It" are printed in the same weathered style. Together, the submarine, the flag, and the text form a single statement about ballistic missile boat service.
