The story in the artwork

The design centers on a color photograph of USS Guadalcanal, the amphibious assault ship, cutting through the water with full details of her superstructure and deck visible. Above the ship, bold white text states "NEVER UNDERESTIMATE AN" with "OLD MAN" printed in bright blue below it. Blue stars in a horizontal line frame the top and bottom of the text, giving the design a patriotic feel. At the base, weathered lettering reads "WHO SERVED ON" with "USS GUADALCANAL LPH-7" in blue capitals. The composition ties together the ship's history with a message of respect for the veterans who answered the call.
