Behind it stretches the American flag, its stripes and star field weathered and textured to suggest the wear that comes with years of service. Waves rendered in white and navy blue frame the lower half, giving the print depth and movement. The lettering appears in solid white, modern and straightforward, making the statement impossible to miss. Everything works together to honor the unique experience of submarine duty.
