Artwork and lettering

The submarine dominates the center of the design, rendered in deep blue and white spray as it cuts through the water with purpose and power. Ocean waves surge around its hull in teal and white, suggesting the constant motion beneath the surface where these vessels operate. The American flag sits layered behind the submarine, its red and blue tones ghosted and weathered to create depth. Bold, blocky white lettering spelling "SUBMARINE" sits above and "VETERAN" in a flowing script appears below, anchoring the image with strength and respect for the service it honors.
