Spadefish SSN-668 American Flag Submarine Veteran T-Shirt shows a submarine cutting through water with a painted flag behind it. The text below reads "Been There - Done That and Damn Proud of It" to celebrate service. Wearing this honors the specific vessel and the quiet strength of those who served underwater.

The design in detail

A dark submarine hull breaks the surface of textured blue ocean waves, creating white foam at the bow. Behind the vessel, a stylized American flag sweeps upward in broad red, white, and blue brushstrokes that suggest motion and energy. At the top, the words "US SPADEFISH SSN 668" appear in a weathered, blocky white font that mimics stenciled military markings. Below the graphic, the phrase "BEEN THERE - DONE THAT AND DAMN PROUD OF IT" is printed in the same distressed style. This composition combines naval realism with artistic flair to represent the submarine force. The specific hull number anchors the design in real history rather than generic imagery.

When to wear it

Those who served on the Spadefish or similar vessels notice the specific hull number immediately. This nurse life T-shirt serves as a conversation starter during holiday parties or reunions where shared experiences create instant connection. You might wear it while visiting a memorial or attending a Navy ball to show solidarity with fellow submariners. The bold statement below the image reinforces a sense of completed duty and enduring pride without needing loud words.

Good occasions

This design works well for Christmas gatherings or family events where you want to acknowledge your service quietly. Pair it with dark denim or casual trousers for a look that respects the solemnity of the subject while remaining comfortable. Available in cuts like the Classic T-Shirt, Hoodie, and V-Neck T-Shirt, you can choose the layer that fits the season. It is an ideal way to carry a piece of maritime history into everyday social settings.

FAQ

What does the text 'Been There - Done That and Damn Proud of It' mean in this context?
It reclaims a common pop culture phrase to express genuine military pride. For submarine veterans, it signifies the completion of demanding deployments and the unique bond formed in confined underwater environments. The wording transforms a casual slogan into a serious declaration of dedication to the mission and the crew.
Who specifically gets the reference to SSN 668?
This design targets people familiar with the USS Spadefish, a nuclear-powered fast attack submarine commissioned in the 1960s. It appeals to veterans who served on that specific ship, as well as naval historians and enthusiasts who track hull numbers. The specificity distinguishes it from generic submarine graphics that lack historical accuracy.
How does this design differ from other patriotic submarine shirts?
Most designs use generic clip art or stock photos of submarines. This version features a custom illustration paired with the exact hull designation of the Spadefish. The combination of the specific identifier and the personalized bottom text creates a narrative about individual service rather than just a symbol of national support.
